At the risk of turning net.emacs into the rms@mit-prep fab club, I too
would like to add my applause for the man himself. Not only for GNU
Emacs, which is great, has made my life immesurably simpler (I've
virtually stopped using a bare shell) and is definitely How Things
Should Be Done, but also for GNU in general, the idea and the
commitment shown by rms and others in making it work. A truly social
commitment, aimed at improving the world, not at increasing ones's
personal power over it. Right on ....
