You can find differences in perspective of Theo and Linus all around the web with any search engine. I can really recommend to start with eg. wiki page for Theo or with http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/mg/theo.c?rev=1.121 (see *talk[]) Theo is interested in doing his job right and hiking. He don't need to loose time on some "social" platform. If you want to do proper job then you need focus. I'm sure that you will find in history that Linux/GNU people were informed couple of times why something is wrong, but they simply don't care so why we need to care about their infrastructure if they did not care anytime before? > Daniel > > > On Sat, Sep 17, 2011 at 3:57 AM, STeve Andre' <and...@msu.edu> wrote: > >> Linux is not OpenBSD, it's Linux.
