You know... I always felt a disconnect with the "Free Software" people. I could never put my finger on it. I thought maybe it was because the FSF is a nonce defender's cult of personality, or maybe because GNU never met a Unix app they couldn't ruin, but I think I finally get it.
It's more fundamental than all that. It's a gross disconnect between why I'm in software and why they are.
