I am not arguing this; there are plenty of people out there who have
the *perception* that we are Bolsheviks. This proposal will give more
fuel to their fire (can you see the Slashdot comments on an article
about this plan? I certainly can imagine some, and many of the names
on them won't be those of trollers).
I don't think RMS is a Bolshevik. I haven't quite decided *what* he
is (I suspect he's what Europeans would call a socialist, which really
doesn't mean anything anymore in the Blair-Schroeder era... but I
digress ;-).

Identify where I did so. In this thread he advocated this proposal
(in the 1243 permutation), and I did not extrapolate his position
beyond that.
