Sounds about right to me.
Let's see: a regularly scheduled but always empty bus run can be true or false
as a fact. Thinking that bus run is a good or bad thing is an opinion --
hopefully, one that is supported by facts or theories that explain facts.
Now, in this country, everyone has a right to their opinions, right?
Mine is that none of this has to do with Linux and is a divisive distraction
among an otherwise congenial group of people who share a common interest in that
operating system.
I've had my coffee.
