cjm:
for god’s sake no one cares about linux or software business models.

DrJ:
cjm, you are right. I’ll let it pass because it is off topic here, and there is religion involved.

buddy larsen:
many russians have died of natural cossacks

Ladies, gentz, pipsqeaks, FSB/KGB comrades, what is going on here? CJM, dude, the culture of open source “culture” and the idea of a “commons” are central to small “L” liberalism and foundations of our free society and they have been since a bunch of Angles, Britannae, or what-the-heck-evers pushed back at those pusillanimous Normans with various artful sideling dodges from ghastly Centrist Feudalism.

Common Law with other community commons including shared real estates, my fellow AngloSpherians, predates and undergirds our current notions of private property. And they have NOTHING to do with the vile excrescences of Socialism, in my humbull opinion)

Yes, I know, that my fatefulle misspellink of humbull is no choke, but exposes me as one of the FSB hooligan plants. Yes, it is true. Konyok and I are working graveyard shift at Lyubianka, subterranean level 13. The promo on Georgian wine is a clever way to boost revenues of our distribution company, 71% of which is siloviki-owned…

But I digress!

DrJ, darlink, you were actually one of the few who was ON TOPIC! It seems to me that any attempt to “herd cats” as the lovely one put it, is doomed–domed I say–to utter failure. I mean, the USA does not have 17 levels under Guantanamo full of “hooliganisti”, do it?

I rest my case. (whew! that was really getting heavy)

Which leads me to the truly off topic post by Larcenous, Inc. Buddy-Baby, you get the FSB BADDE PUNNINGK award of this entire crisis. The entire subterranean level 13 is still giggling over it. Dude!

And, Uncle Solivichik says, DRINK GEORGIAN WINE! They actually invented the stuff, did you know that?
