And your assumption of Mr. Bar knowledge was based on... ? How does one decide what his opinion of a supposdly big contributor to Open/Free software one has never met, anyway? based on his Slashdot interview or how he is presented at a lecture? I'm not trolling here, really. I've been bothered by this question ever since my last dealings with said Mr. Bar and I'm really interested in an answer. We can assume that Alan Cox, to pick a name, is probably legit. But, what about me? if I give a lecture at some confence and be introduced as "writer of many contributions to the Linux kernel" (which is false in my case, btw) - how do you know that I'm not bluffing?
