Would it be possible for you to, instead of repeatedly bringing up the subject of Free Software vs Open Source and GNU/Linux vs Linux, do this privately, off the list? It is not possible for a private response to be effective. When errors are posted on a list, an effective correction has to be on the list. For most of the people who are here this continuous reminder is tiring, I trust that most people here recognize that it is important to stand up to these repeated errors, rather than let them pass as accepted. The only method I can see is to post corrections. Can you suggest another? If I were not the only one, it becomes a lot easier. By continuously repeating yourself publicly on these matters you end up making the rest of your message lost. This is not a phenomenon of nature, it is what you do. The rest of my message is not "lost"; rather, you drop it. You've said that you do so because you resent my correction of those errors. Isn't it the errors that deserve your resentment, rather than their corrections? If you reinterpret the situation, seeing the repeated errors as causing a real problem and my corrections as trying to prevent that problem, you might feel glad to see them corrected. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
