This is getting to be a bit offtopic. Some linux lists have a flame
counterpart specifically for these issues, i.e. the ones that are not
technical. Couldn't we start a debian-flame list for these debates? The
people who are interested in these could sign up for that.

It wasn't until I saw the post -voting list that I realized that I'd heard

on these things.

Oh wow, is Paul Atreides an actual world leader? I voted for him too--in my case
because he's the primary character of Frank Herbert's Dune, in which he
becomes
emporer of the known universe.
