There's nothing shameful about being a gamer^W... er, non-gamer.  ;->

After all, some of your best friends are zealots!

They're virtual.  I can instantiate copies as needed.

I have nothing against proprietary software.  Try again, bub.

I favour hardware for my own use on Linux that works well without resort
to proprietary drivers, for a variety of pragmatic reasons that Work for
Me[tm].  You choose otherwise?  Good for you.  Have an opinion; they're
free.

Indeed.  I never said otherwise.

Could they cooperate _at all_ with the open source community?  (There, I
fixed it for you.)

In summary, (a) you furnish zero factual corrections, (b) plus you go
beyond that to attribute to me extremist views I don't hold and never
expressed, in order to take hilariously mistaken shots at me personally,
and (c) at the same time you're doing the passive-aggressive personal
offence thing.

Trifecta.

Seriously, decaf _can_ taste just as good.
