Ok Ron,
We all recognise your efforts and don't deny that the question of the binary 
blobs" is a very complex and "politicaly hot" one..
But (and I speak here from a STRICTLY personal point of view) it is the fashion 
you chose to lecture Paul than I found not very nice..
I sense a trace of elitism in your atitude (like you "GODs" have the exclusive 
right to acces some secrets and we "mere mortals" have even no right to think 
about these "things"..) I for one cannot swallow that!..
Just my 2 (euro-cents)
 Florentin

is that people who don't know what's going on might take Paul's comments
seriously, and the next thing we know we're seeing mistakes like the Purism
laptop.

It's also not very nice, given the amount of effort that we have made over
the years to get the blobs opened up, for Paul to claim that we "don't
understand how much power we have." Unless you've been involved in these
discussions, you can't possibly understand how difficult they are.
