Let me point out that this cavalier attitude comes entirely from Nick, and
not from the rest of Pigdog.  Despite our regularly scheduled cynicism, most
of us have a deep sense of awe for RMS.  I don't think we'd treat him with
anything but respect.

I'm really peeved that I missed this chance to talk to Stallman on tape.  It
would have been great!  Dagnabbit.
