Don't you think it's funny how you ask me a question and then start
answering it yourself in your own way?
I said the statemnt in question was well put, since it struck a familiar
chord in me. As a teacher, I've often come across this malady of
emphasizing a name at the cost of the meaning of a concept. So, when
someone else echoed this sentiment, I naturally responded. Regarding the
Linux vs. GNU/Linux issue, I think RMS has said it all in the quote I'd
given.
Once again, please don't attribute your meanings to my statements.
