Give  the nice guy little slack! I mean Bruce has done a LOT for Linux  
and Open Source. He was Debian leader few years back and worked hard for 
the project. So why to nickpick him? There seems to be severall type of 
Linux people. Ones who  do  something and ones who seems to get 
satisfaction to harrass the first group for little misteps, which are 
unavoidable  when one really do something. Grow up.

I won't post again for this list because it is not right plase  to 
discuss this. Just my 2 cents. And I sure someone  will point out that 
my english suck :-)
