If you are trying to equate "random pissed off officers" with those kernel developers part of the SFC alliance, then I have to say that is perhaps one of the most stupid misrepresentations of members of SFC that I have heard so far. Unless of course your statement is educated, you know all members part of SFC and have asked each one why they joined. If you don't know then please educate yourself on this as reading this type of incoherent nonsense being spouted out is just offending and does nothing to help. Luis
