I think this is an important point. We can all sit back and armchair qb, as if 
our opinion matters, but Linus went out and *did* it. To me, doing and 
accomplishing beats the snot out of ripping down what I consider a "great 
man". I've had dealings with him multiple times personally and with regard to 
code, and he's always given me something to think about, and treated me 
fairly and well. Stallman, on the other hand, has been a bit of a jerk when 
I've met him. I appreciate his existence though.
