Uh, seebs, can you please stop repeating old flamewars? Maybe this is
new for comp.lang.tex, but this went around about 5 times on
gnu.misc.discuss already, at great length. I suspect that most of the
readers of comp.text.tex just don't give a crap, either. And even
Linus asked people to stop flaming about GNU/Linux. So shut up already.
