That's a kindergarten-like argumentation. ``Because my mom has said... it must be right!'' (I don't entirely like John's kind of argumentation, because his irony could be misinterpreted as arrogance, but if i had to chose, i wouldn't pick Linus' way either.) Linus is as failable as John and everybody else. Both are humans, with all their strongths and weakenesses. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
