but this is not really what you said a few days ago. to quote:
The thing that drives us is that we feel a sense of community
with people like us, who are like minded enough and have made the
same commitments we have: to produce free software; and they have
gone beyond lip service and actually come forth to stand up and be
counted. We are not islands. We are a community. And outsiders fail
to realize this.
i don't think in that community you included any users. and then there
is that ugly word: outsiders. not that there is anything wrong with
being elitist. anyway, keep up the good work, i, and everybody else,
really appreciate it (even if i disagree strongly with some of your
statements).
