I agree with some of the things you say like Berry should be allowed
to say his piece etc.. but i think you fool yourself if you think 
you had anything ( "your damn tax dollars" or not...) to do with the achievements
of the FSF... or that you can in some misguided fantasy-trip of yours
take some of the credit...No way, Pal....

As far as I am concerned FSF is still the "good guy" in
this fight .. ( note that I call it a fight , you call it 
a mess :-) ) and the way I see it its a fight between two
philosophies and not Berry vs FSF or Jon"Taxpaying"Shapiro and me etc...
