Ya know LX, IMO, you're gettin way out'a line. First the prime
motivation for many join'n the Club was to support free (speech)
software, particularly MandrakeSoft. I know it was mine. That'n to
avoid being a freeloader. Many, as myself, contributed long before
there was a Club. Many renewed early last fall, as myself, when it
was apparent Mandrake was in trouble. No vote expected or any
other expectations, just future hope and appreciation for past
service. Get over your gripes or go for some other distro, or OS.
Either way GC doesn't deserve this kind of berating. Try'n offer
some constructive criticism that already hasn't been beat to death.
