Note that this list is for the coordination of a campaign to promote free
software.

The idea that free software is a good thing is something we've already decided.
Debate about that should take place elsewhere so we don't drown people who
signed up for this list with messages they don't want.

I might suggest <http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss> for
those interested in debate on this topic.


Thanks,

"Microsoft put all those functionality-crippling features into Vista because it
wants to own the entertainment industry. This isn't how Microsoft spins it, of
course. It maintains that it has no choice...It's all complete nonsense."
