The free software community is a meritocracy. Both Bruce and Eric (notice
the spelling) have contributed a lot to the free software community
(Electric Fence, ncurses, the Jargon file, LSB, Debian project leadership
etc. etc.), and deserve respect for that.

What have /you/ done for the free software community for us to respect your
opionions in this regard?
