Hey thanks a ton. Was enlightening and i realize that i picked the wrong analogies. But i really wonder if i would/should stop all interaction with another computer user only because he is a victim of a software hoarder, by chance or choice or may be need! who knows?
Why do you persist on making caricatures of whatever intellectual stance you might be espousing? Who talked about "stop all interaction"? Or can you really not see the difference between not wanting to work towards supporting non-free so non-free software and stopping all interactions?
With all this hyperbole and caricatures and posing, it is impossible to hold a rational conversation with you. Or perhaps that is what you desire?
Or should we work towards supporting all the formats, that allow such interaction without any legal hassles at least!
No. I am certainly not going to support non-free software in my spare time, and on my own dime. If people want support, from me, for non-free formats, then I'd be happy to make my hourly rate available; and when they are paying me they can ask me to support whatever format they desire.
