excuse me if i have made use of "dude, folk", etc ; this is not my
natural lang, neither i use to care about sexuality (thats
where i place the privacy field).

but i know the world where we live; i understand what, and why :)

so i'm glad to read you, aka "libreboot founder" 8) humanity owe a lot
to u; for sure i do. tnx also to open us a window to you, to know you
and your feelings a little better :) & excuse me for (ab)use the use
of maleish pronouns.

you have my support Leah, best wishes, keep it real, keep strong :)
