i rang[0] ms. davis and she quite speedily returned my call.

adobe actually *does* make linux products - framemaker and acrobat.
however i did suggest that it would be appreciated if future mails to the
list would be more obviously linux oriented.  perhaps if adobe wanted to
mention what stores in ireland sell the linux versions of framemaker on
their shelves or if they were offering training courses in one of their
linux based products.

she was very receptive to that and said she would consider that and that
if any of us felt that her message was inappropriate for a mailing list
with several hundred members[1] that we should just hit the delete key.

i agreed that that was entirely reasonable.  obviously she is receptive to
all ideas on this[2] topic and if anyone has anything further to add they
should send a new message with a relevant subject header to their thoughts
(read: unique, friendly, informative) to her address at sjd at Adobe.COM.

in other news i was considering founding a bofh chapter in the ilug,
any others interested?

[0] thanks to john and niall for the phone help.
[1] is there a place on the web page that states how many?
[2] if this was c, and "this" was a pointer, i'd worry that it was
    dangling.
