Hmm. With all due respect, I think that arguing business with someone who has yet to be sucessful at it is not likely to help me or help the open source world. I think you have some really interesting thoughts and it's clear that you have thought hard about this stuff. I'm also someone who has thought hard about a lot of things I haven't done only to find that my opinions changed dramatically once I started doing those things. Theory and practice and all that. No offense intended, but I'll pass on this for the time being. I look forward to watching you create and run a business based on your principles. If it's successful, who knows?, maybe I'll be working for you one day and that would be cool, I'd love to work for someone with a better vision. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - 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/
