Trying to satisfy the Linux community is wrong-headed, the only
community that's we need to satisfy is *our* community.
Satisfying and existing are two completely different things, and unfortunately
we must exist with them, Linux will not go away any time soon.
Oh, we don't need to co-exist if we don't want to use any of the Linux based
projects...
My fortune cookie at lunch today said
"Be willing to apologize and the world will become smaller"
This got me thinking about this thread, and what is really being
said, behind all the words and between all the lines. What I'm
hearing bothers me:
"We are better than they are"
"We don't need them"
"How would that help *us*?"
"What if they did something we didn't like?"
"...bigot..." "...jerk..." "... @^^& @^%$^&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&$#..."
My, how the world is getting bigger - we all are squaring off
into our own isolated camps, building up barriers that will
be impossible to break down, and in the process, moving
all of us farther apart. This is not good.
We need to mend these fences and pull ourselves back together
again as a community. Even those of us live in the Linux
or Apple or GNU worlds.
Peace,
-John
