i went to the trouble of signing into one of my linux servers and reading the link.

It was your telling me not to talk about how RMS said as president of the FSF that he was going to honor the Palestinian boycott of Israel. It had nothing to do with linux mint.

Totally irrelevant.

Geoff.

As a side note, RMS jeapordized the FSF, project GNU, and pissed off Larry Ellison, who instead of giving Open Office to the FSF gave it to the Apache Foundation.
