The FOSS community should get with it. This is the 21st century, one
where lies are truth, war is peace and good is bad. We need to fight
fire with fire.
Our gummint and our corporations have taught us the spin and lies are
perfectly acceptable ways of communicating the truth and dealing
with P.R. problems.
So be it. I like Marghanita's approach ... we need more of it.
And she isn't even into the full spin cycle yet! The gummint has spun
things into full rev over periods lasting years. Let's do the same ;)
cheers
