He has merely honed his public message to produce the desired effect on an audience, like a corrupt preacher who preaches charity and chastity but then embezzles from the collection plate and has illicit affairs. --Brett Glass At 02:35 AM 5/12/99 +1000, Stephen McKay wrote: >Richard Stallman visited my home town yesterday, and I went along to see >the renowned zealot of free software.
