Agreed. Or perhaps Debian folks should staff the LPF and the EFF, which both need some new energy as far as I can tell. I met Barlow a while back, he seems to have the right ideas, but not enough time/energy to work on them. Thanks Bruce -- The $70 Billion US "budget surplus" hardly offsets our $5 Trillion national debt. The debt increased by $133 Billion in the same year we found a "surplus".
