Forgive me if I paraphrase an idea that comes through loud and clear
with each and every post you make... ANYWHERE! :

So, in your world view, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ME (US) WHAT IS GOOD FOR
ME (US), AND, BY GOD, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TO IT THAT WE ALL LIVE IN
THE CONFINES OF YOUR VISION OF WHAT THE WORLD SHOULD BE LIKE.

Perhaps we would all feel a little better if you would just state for
the record who your corporate handlers are. (I know I would!) Because
your way of working with the FLOSS (that's FREE LIBRE OPEN SOURCE
SOFTWARE, btw) community is eerily similar to the jack booted thug
manner with which corporations deal with their user community!

You are dissing all the very people who have made it possible for you
to perch atop your heap of dung (poor decisions and poor
communications skills) and look out over the masses of poor, ignorant
people who have no vision and don't know how to care for their selves.

I have led hundreds to FF over the years. That stops NOW. Someone will
do with FF what LO did with OO.o. And we all see what a floundering
mess OO.o has become. And then your "heap" won't be nearly as high nor
your "masses" be nearly as... massive. You think dissing the people
who made you is a good idea? We'll see.

Enjoy, Your Highness.
