Shlomi, have you noticed you are the only one so far
that consistently cross post to several mailing lists?

Yeah, how irrational is the Free Software Foundation to refuse
advertising and soliciting of non-free software...

Shlomi, you are entitled to your own opinions and License choice.
I (like most FOSS users and advocates) am already used to being called
fanatical, irrational and impractical -- by users of non-free software.

However, when someone makes these claims on a Linux mailing list they
are obviously trolling -- maybe that's why you keep cross posting
(trying to maximize impact).

I just found out that the brain is like a computer.
If that's true, then there really aren't any stupid people.
Just people running Windows.
