Richard,
I have followed this thread for the first couple hundred mails. But,
as the noise is getting to much for me, someone that is just a lurker,
so I feel I must make a couple comments and a request.
As your views on open-source have become more and more extreme over
time, you have become less and less relevant to a overall practical
open-source community (I call it reality). You have also made, to be
polite, inaccurate statements about OpenBSD which have been corrected
in great detail. But, your response has only been to become a slimy
politician and change your views (or those that you have presented on
list) as the previous views have failed. Furthermore, you have flat
out ignored some corrections and I can only assume that this conflicts
with your core values to the point that you refuse to change (much like
fundamentalist evangelical *insert religion here*'s) one iota.
But, what I find most disturbing about your behaviour is that it you
try to shove your views down other peoples throat with great vigour.
You have admitted as much on this list with regards to failed attempts
with Ubuntu and Debain and you have now failed here. Even your cronies
have made, to be polite, little headway because there views are pretty
much as extreme as yours. Not to mention the inherent sophistry
therein.
I think that at this point it is obvious that OpenBSD is /not/ going
to change its views because of RMS. And I for one thank the devs
because OpenBSD suits me just fine the way it is. IMO, to change it in
any way toward your extreme views would only detract from an otherwise
clean and free OS.
Please go away, take your cronies with you and live in your own
little pocket universe so the rest of us can live in peace.
regards,
Reid
