When Richard was due to visit my then-firm Linuxcare in 1999, I explained him to our sales staff (in an e-mail), by quoting George Bernard Shaw's famous quip: 'The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.' (This was one of Shaw's Maxims for Revlutionists in his play _Man and Superman_, http://www.bartleby.com/157/6.html .) -- Cheers, "A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes Rick Moen to be true he generally believes to be true." r...@linuxmafia.com -- Demosthenes, Third Olynthiac, sct. 19 (349 BCE) McQ!
