[SNIP] Over the years I have heard Eric S Raymond pontificate and assail and I grow more tired each time I am subjected to one of his ramblings. ESR, as he is frequently called, is a harm to the free software movement, and I for one, welcome his departure from this list. Damn it, but now I have the potential of having to read his crap on the Ubuntu forums. What's the over/under on the number of days/weeks before he makes some sort of proclamation about what's wrong with Ubuntu? Eric, why don't you just shut up and roll your own release? Oh, wait, that's right, you are all talk and no action. In free software, we contribute when we can and help when we can, whining and quitting is for losers. Mark L.
