Ok, this debate has gone off the rails. The length and content is unwieldy to most people.
We are now discussing Linus being assinated, GNU Hurd not being production ready, the existence of absolute good and evil, the failings of Linux, the windows-ish look of KDE, free software not being innovative, the temporal value of precious metals, the universe, love, truth...
If participants have unresolved free software issues that they believe are resolvable, could a new short-bodied thread be started?
Hmm, I guess you won't like what I just posted. Sorry, my modem based connection sends email before it downloads what's new.
Why I believe X is because I believe A, B & C. To explain why I think X is correct requires explaining A, B & C which in turn can recurse downwards. This can take some time but is where the real fruit of these kinds of discussion are borne. It's also why I keep it off list as for those not interested, it's very tedious.
If you want it short, you won't get past me saying "GPL is bad" and everyone else probably saying "GPL is good". That gets no one anywhere except knowing what we've already established.
Back off list?
Cheers, Niall
