Six thousand-odd subscribers on csail-related. Six thousand-odd
students and alums, faculty and staff, and others with various
connections to CSAIL like technical committes and standards
organizations. Six thousand-odd of the brightest, best-educated people
in the world. No consensus. Some say RMS dug his own grave. Some say it
was a gross mischaracterization. Good company, indeed, I think,
regardless of which side you find yourself on.
