I wasn't trying to criticize the project. They absolutely did a good
thing by reducing the costs of the government. We need more of those.

Your opinion.

What is your point ?

1. This is not a general issue 
2. This has nothing to do with Linux
3. You can't stand my opinions, so you want me out of LIG.

Sorry, what part of it was commie bashing ? I thought I used the C-word
carefully.

Perhaps a little bit of tolerance would help ? I realize that by
arguing against the "community", I'm actually strengthening it. The
more you're threatened (not physically), the stronger you huddle.

However, my goal is not to "win" the argument or become the leader
of the masses. I realize that my opinions are unpopular among some
of you and I'm ready to live with it. I hope I can expect the same
from you.

May be you can enlighten me about what the entire debate is about ?
