I'll tell you why:  So I can skip past the BS posts I keep getting in my
mailbox!  I don't care about tiny bits of code, or what ifs, wishlists. 
I subscribed because I was interested in USING OpenDOS.  It seems that
most of the posts here are generated by people with chips on their
shoulder; either promoting Linux (or something else that is not
mainstream and has a very select few interested in it) or slamming
Microsoft because they cannot run "Word 10.0" on their 286-16 with 640k
and an expanded memory card.  How about we all just confine ourselves to
OpenDOS discussions and keep Microsoft out of it, ok?  I am simply tired
of people posting one sentence replies to someone else for the singular
reason of bashing Microsoft or saying "well, you should be using this
anyways; you are a moron for trying to get THAT to work".  

At least with a Newsgroup, I can pick and choose what to download and
when.  BTW, THIS IS NOT A LINUX MAILING LIST!
