Wow.  Well put, Matt!

If anyone decides to argue the "other side" of that issue, they should
hang their head in shame and voluntarily add the title "Village Idiot"
to their .signature file for the ensuing month.

But hey, thats just my [1] opinion.  ;-)

[1] DISCLAIMERS: 
  Given current geographic location, pregnant wife, etc. 
    I just can't attend TriLUG meetings.  But I do sorely miss 
    the discussions, people, and pizza!
  I'm a Fedora Extras contributor so, yes, I'm horribly, 
    irretrievably, and unabashedly biased.
  I'd love to give a presentation about how we use Fedora
    for basically everything at work from laptops to desktops 
    to compute clusters with hundreds of nodes, how to join FE, 
    some of the neat stuff we've learned (sometimes the hard 
    way!) as a result of all the above, etc.
