Thank you so much for expressing my opinion so much more eloquent than I have been able to :-). I really like your alarm clock example, and this is what I have meant. Most of us do compromise for convenience, out of laziness, or for whatever reasons. RMS would rather stop using computers than giving up his ideals (which is what I mean by "extreme position"). While dealing with such a person can be really difficult, I agree that it needs some of that kind.
