I stopped reading the last thread when it became a battle of lexicon and not a discussion of funding (I really liked the idea of service as a funding model for some SFFC chapters but may make a separate post on that topic).<br>
<br>Some discussions should be moved to a new thread or done off list. The tone matters. I think you have some good points Matt. I am just concerned that the main idea of the thread got lost in a tangentially related debate. <br>

pretty sorry for you.<br>
<br>
I would invite you to consider how misinformation can hurt projects like<br>
the GNU project.<br>
<br>
Accusing people in public of trolling, because they post accurate and<br>
timely responses to misunderstandings and potentially damaging<br>
information about the GNU project is both bad form, and stupid.<br>
<br>
I would invite you to review the website of the GNU project, and<br>
verbosely reply to this thread pointing out where I have made mistakes<br>
in the things I said about Linux and its relationship to the GNU OS.<br>
