schestowitz"@Honest annie - Yes, both are different and having people who focus on different things is definitely useful, especially when speaking to different crowds. Yes, RMS focusing more on pragmatic, code and development has been useful when reaching developer type audiences. I would say that this is one of his strong points. I am referring to what I consider his weak point (and I admire his strengths a lot), which in my opinion is May 29 10:37

schestowitzHey Dr. Roy SchestowitzMay 29 11:25
schestowitzI'm glad to hear that. I take notice of your interest. But I'll wait some days before I decide on what exactly to do. Please understand that that's not because I would not trust you, but simply so that everyone can have a look at the posting and take part in the discussion.May 29 11:25
schestowitz@thamas idea to open the account up to several people is very appealing to me. I can see many benefits in that model: - The control would be distributed (so posts could still come up even if someone is on holidays or sick) - The quality of posts rises, because everyone can write about thing's they're interested in - The pressure to drive the account is not on one person alone - more people == more time == more posts - ... So May 29 11:25
schestowitzif there are several people who want to help drive the account we should all discuss it together and try to find a model that allows anyone to contribute. I would still hand over the main control over the account (credentials) to someone else, because I just don't have the time...May 29 11:25
schestowitzFrom FLOSS Weekly I know that G+ accounts can have several 'contributors' associated with it that can all post under that account. Maybe Diaspora could introduce a similar feature for us - that'd be amazing.May 29 11:25
schestowitzWhatever comes, I'd love to have you on board!May 29 11:25

schestowitzBittorrent is protocol used by regular companies with fewer legal & business problems than Microsoft as a patching mechanism for updating software.May 29 11:55
schestowitzThis includes commercial Linux software distributors like Red Hat [etc.] that is the bulkhead of many public and private sector networks, Blizzard who makes a line of successful games, and others.May 29 11:55
schestowitzRogue use of the protocol is bad, as is countless types of rogue abuse of/by Windows PCs. But we haven't rounded up and destroy half or even all the Windows computers just because half have an epidemic.May 29 11:55
schestowitzAttacking Bit Torrent is like shutting down online banking/shopping because a kid in Boldface, California transferred a copy of an old movie to a friend. Get the kid, get the movie; but don't screw up legitimate commerce and legitimate users & customers.May 29 11:55
schestowitzThe simple fact is that people have become accustomed to designing, writing, selling, and even giving away the software they create without the slightest use or nod to Microsoft products.May 29 11:55
schestowitzThis might upset Microsoft, especially as they struggle with increasing difficulty to really master modern technologies. But that doesn't give Microsoft the right to blow up the bridges and roads that people use to travel on the information highway.May 29 11:55
