RMS is famous, and he's respected for his honesty and commitment, putting
principles relating to community and freedom ahead of principles of personal
gain.
You didn't mention where "anywhere" is for you, except by the implication that
it's not where RMS has gotten to. I haven't heard of you, and I'm not
backing anything you've come up with that I know of...
Maybe you could tell us what you're behind, and what you've accomplished -
then we could tell you what we think of your accomplishments. Risky, though.
Our opinion of you might not match your own.
I'll admit I have some opinion about the scope of your personal awareness now.
But I'll take it with a grain of salt - cyberspace usually comes across
harsher than it is actually intended. Yes?
Cheers,
Bret
