After takin' a swig o' grog, Kier belched out this bit o' wisdom: >> I think Karl should let RMS post his own responses to Usenet trolls, >> should he wish to do so. > > He's crippled by RSI, I believe, so maybe he prefers to leave posting to > Usenet to others on his behalf, to save his wrists for his coding work.
Ahhh, that does make sense. Still, for missives, text-to-speech should work well enough. (Not for code, though, I would guess.) > I admit to being sceptical of the message, but it certainly was consistent > with RMS's personality and views. I agree, but I was skeptical nonetheless. I remember getting suckered by a fake post from "Linus Torvalds". > And how the hell would either of them > know anything about trolls like 'Karen Hill'? Simple. Read "her" post and think a bit. To be fair, I'm sure RMS/Karl don't know about COLA, and so the cross-post didn't raise any red flags. I'm pretty sure I made some mistakes in this thread <wry grin>. One more thing. Just wanted to make it clear that I am a big fan of GNU and the GPL. There would be no "Linux" distros without it. And the FSF is to be commended for working hard to preserve a very endangered part of "the Commons", and, in fact, enlarging it. And I agree with most of what RMS has to say. Perhaps I should change my street name to "GNU/Linønut"! -- Q: Why does a GNU/Linux user compile his kernel? A: Because he can. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
