I have similar feelings about Robertson myself. There are things that I don't like that he has done. However, I do like some of what he and Lindows are doing for the Linux community. Not that they are doing it just for the Linux community. They are doing it for themselves and their bottom line also. That is not necessarily a bad thing though. That is the reason that most of us are in business or work for a living.

And make no mistake about it, Microsoft would love nothing more than to see Linux go away. They would never say this out loud because it might FORCE the government to look at them again. As long as they can appear to be competing rather than extinguishing the republicans (I say this as somewhat of a republican myself) are likely to leave them alone.

Robertson did good things for the free-music and independent-musician community, too. I will never fault him for that.

But then again, my new kitten loves to rub up against me, lets me pick her up and cuddle, purring happily, and then bites my hand really hard so I drop her.

I just don't want Robertson's antics to cause us any damage, like they wound up doing to the free-music world.
