It only looks like a has-been when you talk about it. I have been necessarily reminded by a few that you do not speak for the FSF.
It has been made quite clear several times that nobody here has spoken for either FSF, FSF-e, or any other organisation or project. My stance might coincide with whatever the FSF says, but it does not need to. I find it quite amazing that people have such a hard problem differentiating between `I think ...' and the `FSF thinks ...' and getting a pet peeve of the domain from where an email came from while ignoring the actual content of the message.
I thankyou for participating with me to this end so that I could understand your position, I do not find it attractive but I admire you for not abandoning what are obviously valuable principles.
We may talk again on other matters where we have some agreement.
Thank you for those kind works. I apologise for calling you a troll, but I did find your last remark quite insulting, including a couple of other remarks in your later messages which lead to the unfortunate name calling.
Cheers.
