"Love him or hate him, nobody wants to hear me spam the list bitching about RMS and his FTP spam. Well instead, I'm just simply going to respond with a rapidshare link of the subject matter available for download by anyone of any class, creed, race or computer ability." YES!!! at least you can acknowledge that even IF RMS was a real problem that YOU and the people that bitch about him doesn't help at all....if anything it makes it worse! look - i'm not looking for a pissing match here - it just bothers me when i see people adding posts to this list for the soul purpose of complaining......complaining about someone offering music no less! you can offer up whatever you wish and i commend you for that. nothing wrong with having more than one available source for the goodies this list holds. "Now I did the same thing for Pomme Fritz, but only Ken and RMS seemed to be unhappy about it. I wonder why? The same person maybe? Hmmm. " the only thing i was unhappy about was your bitching about someone that is posting with open arms. same person??? dude...get a grip! "We did our own lil research on the KLF list and there we discovered precisely 18% of our posts were not just RMS, but RMS on the topic of his FTP." really though?? that's pretty obsessive - should rms be flattered?? 101!!! i'm stepping away from this whole issue as i need not be involved. i would just like to say that if you really have a problem with RMS that perhaps you should keep it to yourself because i don't think this stuff is beneficial to the community at all - and RMS's server IS beneficial - no matter which angle you look at it. Give the guy some credit for taking his time to help us all get the music we are looking for. If you don't wish to give him credit - then deal with it. There are plenty here that are thankful for what he has to offer and this whole "ego trip" thing i just don't get at all. it almost reaks of jealousy or something. but either way - we're all here for one reason and we all have a common bond. no need to muck it all up with shittalk. sorry to piss you off matt - but hopefully you're adult enough to understand where i'm coming from and perhaps you can real eyes that people like RMS do not deserve your disrespect. cheers peeps - orb is coming to the USA in no time let's keep focused ;)
