That's not a fair description of what we are doing, so it is a misled criticism. You can't convince me that what I am doing is mistaken by describing it wrong. And please don't be so harsh in tone. Please review the Kind Communications Guidelines, https://gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html, and try to express your point in a way that is less harsh. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
