On Thu, 20 Feb 1997 Bruce Perens CC'd a press release to this list; Between Thu, 20 and Fri, 21 Feb 1997, some people responded:
> < arguing snipped by me > > > > < more arguing snipped > > > > > > < arguing snipped > > > > > > > > < sigh.. > > > > > Thank you, Bruce. You made a very good press release. I think it is very readable, maybe even to my neighbour who doesn't even know what an operating system is, but might get an impression of what debian (and linux) is about. You see, most people don't think in C-like structures and don't parse press-statements through a preprocessor to verify if all the includes are allright. If one did include all of it, their stack would probably overflow and in this case it wouldn't give you an access to their system. Moreover, focussing on the honours that certain people would proposedly be entitled to at all circumstance, completely neglects the fact that Bruce doesn't get paid to write press statements, yet does a wonderful job as he did. So please, people, if you don't like it, start contributing better material yourself, because there's no money back here.
