| And I believe him, mostly because he has a talent for convincing people
| that he has what they want (*snip* long winded philosophical debate as to
| whether a successful persuasive argument can result in true want or need).

| I also believe that motivation isn't the only one, and that it ranks 
| somewhere a bit below making money and geeking out.

Are we talking about billg here or rms?

| In my humble and small opinion, there is no revolution, only a return to

Reminds me of all the shareware I used to get on the Fred Fish disks for
the amiga.  ;-)
