Alan,
It's semantics and fiction to believe that a decision should be based solely
upon this world and that world of doers. Lets put the perspective straight.
We have many users (programmers, script writers, advanced users, writers, ...)
using a UNIX/Linux operating system that supersedes, far out weighs, and out
performs all other OSs. Given the respect to duly noted titles, _yes_, I
believe that no one in any of the former positions and those not mentioned
should have to carry the burden of a society of ill doers and ill thinkers.
They should not have to undo the wrongs of those who carelessly plunder and
pillage where they may. In other words, give them the respect and recognition
that they naturally deserve!

Signed,
Concerned
