   Nah, it was a thinly-veiled poke at the whole atmosphere in here.  I 
figured everybody would get the reference.

   I can play trollee just as readily as I play troll, but I can't 
remember ever starting and then deleting as many heated replies *and* as 
many reasonable rebuttals as I have in this thread.

   In the end, when all the smoke and noise settles, I expect that only 
one person's mind will have changed.  That'd be Dave, and his intent to 
develop and eventually to release the code to ImageDisk.

   Even more than being an indictment of the whole Stallmanista religion 
(as opposed to a constructive OSS mindset), that's just tragic.
