I think fanatic is too strong a word to use in this context. Would you say that Gandhiji was a fanatic for freedom? Or Mandela for that matter? I know that there are people who believe that the British rule did a lot of good for the country, and some even say that it would have been so much better if the British were still ruling India, because, apparently according to them, we would have had much less problems. From that point of view, Gandhiji, Subhash Chandra Bose and so many others become fanatics. Moreover, let us remember that we are talking about the software world. That certainly does not mean that we are quite happy with everything else. Just a look at RMS's blog would show what all things he fights. But right now, here, we are concerned about software and we certainly cannot take on the whole world and make everything free. Each one of us, as individuals, may have a number of concerns, but cannot fight battles in all fronts simultaneously. Best Sasi -- V.
