Go back in your newsreader to see the article referred to here.

Julian, I can strongly agree to your summary. I think there has been lot of
misunderstanding here about the goal of my comments of the current
situation. Neither Bill nor I nor anyone else called "wizard" by me or
someone else claim to be "gods" who can never be wrong. Nor can anyone
else claim this for himself, and in particular not those who loudly
proclaim the "right of free software and the right to do what they think". 
It is not a right, it is a privilege.

Don't think egoistic, and don't think the world is what you see in 
your personal environment. Think global. This worldwide project is 
the best chance you can get. This is my main message.
Think about that.

Case closed (for me!)

Holger
