Thank God society has people like you and the F.S.F. to correct them
concerning the error of their ways. I can't understand how society
managed to make any technological progress before Richard Stallman
and his acolytes invented Free computer programming.

Proprietary people like Dennis Richie and Ken Thompson have been
demonstrated to be real morons by failing to develop Stallman's
brilliant insights.
