	Don't get me wrong.  This is the discussion we had on PigDog,
and I thought I made it clear that I do have respect for the man, his
ideals, and his insane programming ability.  I just grow tired of his
lack of interpersonal skills and his poor personal hygiene.  

	All I said was "I don't want the man sleeping on our couch."
and you all accused me of trying to be cool by saying "man, I'm so
over that whole RMS thing--he's so ten years ago!"

	You'll notice that I exited the conversation when Snatcher
said "If all you're talking about is that you think he's smelly,
that's OK.".
