I have my own opinions about freedom, which I'd be more than happy to engage in via personal email. But I didn't join this list to talk about freedom, I joined this list to talk about interesting technology and innovation. Your Agenda is as relevant in this context, as a discussion about gay marriage, religion or abortion. Signal or Noise - it's your choice. If this were a community designed for debating "Freedom according to the FSF", then all would be good.. but I see this continual Agenda pushing as destructive to the community. The "Free Your Phone" post was perhaps the most interesting announcement we've had yet - Sean thinks we're going to be building the foundation for Ubiquitous Computing - I think he's right, but this positive message was completely overshadowed by an external Agenda and childish bickering.
