Your family has been endangered?
I didn't realize your FAQ/Primer was that important to anybody.
Very interesting.
Would you like to digress as to the nature of the threats or
feelings which have led you to say your family has been
endangered by this document?

Doesn't it say something about the Signal to Noise ratio on this group when
it's advocates can't even agree on a FAQ?

Nope!

Not really as 30% of Cola postings are by a few well known
Windows using, anti-Linux posters, and they generate *far* more
noise than the few posts on this issue.
Find something significant to criticise Linux advocates with will
ya Stu ?

If there are apparently level headed linux advocates out there who are in
private threatening physical violence, I think we should be told.

As improbable as it sounds that someone would actually threaten
anyone for doing open source (or linux) work, I'm sorry to hear that.
At least as for the latter part (whatever I have said about your
personality, I still believe you have some talents).

Yes. It says that we work out our differences in public, where everyone is
free to participate or ignore it as they will.
It says that this open process does resolve disagreements in favor of the
majority opinion, which itself grows in thoughtful conversation over time.
It says that a little group of hot-headed and opinionated people CAN agree
on the one thing that we have in common: working together to document what
we like about Linux Advocacy.
And, though it may not be nice to talk about, and we probably all want to
put it behind us, it does demonstrate that no single individual can enforce
his will upon the group.
These are all good things.
Perhaps it's all about how you look at things.
