I know there are a lot of downright jerks / tyrants in the FOSS world, and maybe if you see some of Linus's flamey email out of context, and without actually having worked with him, it might be easy to make the mistake of tarring him with the same brush. But I think that would be kind of unfair, since in truth he's not an asshole, nor is he unfair or hard to work with. [... and I say that as someone who generally has very little tolerance for jerks / tyrants... I'll quit a project before I'll put up with an asshole leader.] -Miles -- `There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.'
