I'm quitting this list as of now. dave, please, as a friend i ask you that if you're still there reconsider your decision. and the same to everybody else who might be considering quitting the list because of the recent thread. i haven't participated in the discussion, even after reading opinions and statements that i resent (and others that i find naive and others that i find plain stupid), because i know that nothing good can possibly come out from such arguments, even on a list where you could have assumed that there were certain agreements about the philosophical and social implications of free software. well, you see it is not so. i don't think the solution is quitting the list, you'll miss us anyway, and we'll miss you for sure... :-) you'll have to face situations like this everywhere (just think about your neighbours), so please stay and let threads like this just die of themselves. best, lj --
