If you drag it out, people are definitively going to remember. Claiming that you applied logic to arrive at the conclusion that - Providing a user tool to fetch a tarball - Displaying a direct link to a tarball in our UI are the same thing is nonsense. Asking me to start a discussion on the linux-libre mailing list over this is an unreasonable request. The only way I can see these two things being equal is if you say: class Thing class UserTool extends Thing class DirectLink extends Thing typeof UserTool == typeof DirectLink ;-) I had a class on java - which I didn't attend - and passed an exam - but I never wrote a single line of java. Pretty interesting what will pass as a java programmer don't you think? =P
