Wait, wait, wait. Hold the phone. You mean to tell me, that because I call my system "GNU/Linux", I'm not superior to someone who calls it "Linux"?! You mean to tell me that because I use 100% Richard-Stallman-approved Free Software, I'm not superior to someone who uses Skype to video chat with their kids?! You mean to tell me, that becaue I bottom-post email in plain text, wrap my lines at 72 characters, and only give one space after a full stop instead two, I'm not superior to the "corporate management email user" stereotype?! Wow, you've just rocked my boat. Now I need to go rethink my life. Does this mean I need to shave my beard too? -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
