It matters to them because so much of the FOSS hobbyware is released in 
a half-ass state, and is updated every Sunday night after Mom's basement 
is cleaned to her satisfaction.

Example: over a year ago, the "production" version of LibreOffice 
included a feature called 'Expert Configuration' (Tools | Options | 
LibreOffice | Advanced | Expert Configuration).  It was a list of nearly 
15,000 (wtf?) system properties and configuration options.  You could 
edit about 2/3 of them, but the list couldn't be sorted or searched or 
filtered, and there was no documentation behind it whatsoever.  Total 
and complete hobby shit released well before it was ready.

If the Linux losers had their way, they'd release contraception which
required you to RTFM just to rip the wrapper and where deciding not to
read one of the manual's 15,000 pages would result in a guaranteed
pregnancy.

Not that anyone cares but I've only ever wanted to have one woman in my
life. The fact that I have gotten to ten (though it could have been
more) disappoints me as an ultimately moral individual.

Well, for one thing, you can say the truth.  How many was it?  No 
exaggerating, or your membership to AdultFriendFinder is revoked.

Some random ramblings:

* when he was 57, my uncle told me he had had sex with 1000 women. 
That's an avg of ~one new/different woman every 2 weeks for 40 years. 
Clearly he lies like a cola advocate.

* I was watching a PBS show on Western TV series.  They interviewed one 
of the male actors, and he said something that made me think.  He said 
"I never met a woman I didn't like."  ... he never met Chris Ahlstrom.
