Are you still wondering why Richard Stallman blasts off to the
ceiling when the topic of "software developers" come up ?? His
GNU effort is looking more and more attractive every passing day,
in light of such laws that protect the "developer" to an extent
that "user" is now a true synonym of "luser" !!

UH ?? YOU BOUGHT OUR SOFTWARE ?? NOW WE GOT YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the user's body hitting the floor.. he/she just passed out..]
