You know, regardless of my 'nym, I try to get along with folks.  You 
however seem to be the type of fellow that makes my teeth grind, the 
type that just does what he's told and tells others to do the same, the 
type of person who would, given his druthers, impede all progress in 
order to maintain the position his ego tells him he holds.  You and all 
the others like you who just take whatever happens to be on the shelf 
and use it as best they can to write the best software they can, which 
usually happens to be garbage because they're basing it on garbage, 
well, you are obsolete imo.

"All the Linux community wants is to create a really good, 
fully-featured, free operating system. If that results in Linux becoming 
a hugely popular OS, then that's great. If that results in Linux having 
the most intuitive, user-friendly interface ever created, then that's 
great. If that results in Linux becoming the basis of a multi-billion 
dollar industry, then that's great.

It's great, but it's not the point. The point is to make Linux the best 
OS that the community is capable of making. Not for other people: For 
itself."
