On the contrary. The sting on the cheeks, the bruises
bespeaking of smashed capillaries, are a mere token of what happens
if you do not take a stand.

So you do not agree with the best defense is a good offence?

The safer side is rarely curling into a foetal position and
giving in.

I think it is far, far, worse, but most of the analogies do
not belong on a family mailing list like this one ;-)

Nope, I vote we either go with the social contract, or start
charging, say, $25000 per seat. Or maybe even $100000 per seat. If I

measures! $100,000 for each system running Debian! Yay! Rich, I tell
you!
