Well, there are two sides to every coin and I'm afraid Alon's POV is
completely wrong. But I won't put my case here. I should not argue with a
fool as people would not know (and have not known) the difference.

I agree with Alon here. Hamakor has been essential to many FOSS activities in
Israel, which often need a legal and financial back. Hamakor does much more
than just argue in mailing lists, and it is essential that it will have as
many members/friends as possible and also receive as much money as possible.
Your membership helps both of these causes.
