| schestowitz | Perhaps the self-proclaimed Linux "advocate" in question is absolutely forced to come out-of-hiding, and must do so now, due to the situation described within the penultimate paragraph of the blog piece It Seems I Won't Be Writing For Linux Advocates After All ?? | May 31 17:47 |

| schestowitz | irst, as Mr. Schmitz himself points out, he has not seen a full P&L statement, making this pretty much meaningless. Second, Mr. Shuttleworth is a multibillionaire last I heard, which means he can cover Canonical's losses for precisely as long as he wishes to do so. | May 31 17:51 |

| schestowitz | I have nothing against you. I am not angry at you. Score one? Not hardly. No sensationalism? You talk about Canonical like it's on it's last legs when it's really a play toy for a multibillionaire. What part of that do you not understand? | May 31 17:51 |
| schestowitz | Dietrich, I defended you from being attacked on my blog. The only comments I deleted were personal attacks against you. However, if you really do want to lose credibility with me you're doing it very well right here. | May 31 17:51 |

| schestowitz | "Am I the only one getting tired of Mr Schmitz continually criticizing Ubuntu/Canonical? I'm by no means a Ubuntu fanboi - I don't even use it - but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate what Shuttleworth has done to make desktop Linux more mainstream. Schmitz has often stated his preference for an RPM based distro (which is fine of course) but always feels the need to knock not just Ubuntu, but now also Canonical itself. Maybe he is | May 31 17:53 |
| schestowitz | just being deliberately inflammatory in order to generate page hits, I don't know. I do know it's getting monotonous. Personally I hope Shuttleworth succeeds, and see little point in casting doubts on the solvency of a privately owned company." | May 31 17:53 |
