He's done more than one thing in the past that has made me want to tear my hair out. I agree with you. He has a bit to much "my way or my way" seasoning for my tastes as well and I honestly do wish that RMS would give an honest shot at trying to convert the world to his way of thinking in smaller steps... One thing to his credit though... He has accomplished an awful lot. Would you agree with this? >> The point I was making was that you and Richard Stallman do not have the >> same goal in mind.

If we accept your argument as it stands, then my point is valid. Larry and RMS don't have the same goal. I don't agree with Larry and your stand about Larry's goal, but I'll follow that up in my reply to Larry this evening. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
