Also, Stallman DOES advocate using the power of government -- which includes physical force -- to compel programmers to forfeit the fruits of their labors. But I don't have time to participate in a long, drawn-out flamefest, nor do the people who read this list want to read one, I'm sure. Again, the point of my original message -- which I think (no, KNOW) is quite valid and germane -- is that mindless, ideological hatred is a danger. This is true whether it motivates fanatics merely to hurt people's livelihoods or to create disasters such as the one the world witnessed on Tuesday. The scale is vastly different, but the principle is the same. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
