Just my point: "Linux" is something we believe in.  I'm not sure if everyone
here believes in the same thing. I believe in "Linux" too, but a slightly 
different flavor. Everyone who reads this list knows what I'm talking about.

In the end, we all have more similarities than differences. We all
believe that patent-raj, MS style monopolies hurt developers as well as
end users. As Kirk McKusick likes to put it, we share the "high bit".

However, the lower order bits are messed up. Can't we just live with our
differences ?
