Yes junior I do! FSF is about making software free. The fact that most
software is not free has a large number of bad consequences including 
the infiltration of stupid politics into the design of software.

FSF actualy increase the amount of politics in the software industry (and
will no doubt continue to do so until they are 100% successful and have
the copyright act repealed) but at least it is out of design. If you read
the FSF coding guidelines they say in effect "write is correctly, that
will be sufficient differentiation".

No, I will not be re-directed to a group I can't even read (because I live
in Australia) just because you think that that you inane comments are the
final word.
