I have heard RMS previously, and am unsure
if I want to go see him again..
Im not sure if others follow my reasoning
that he is a bit petty.. instead of trying to educate those inside a LUG what
good things GNU has done.. He just refuses to talk to them unless they have a
silly long name.
My opinion is if he doesn’t come he
only alienates the students he could have educated.
His loss..

I've only seen three replies to the list, and quite frankly, they were
encouraging replies which are more likely to motivate other members to attend
the meeting rather than merely create noise.
I've counted 8 people so far that said they would be coming, three of these
were off-list. I'll see how many more there are, but it's starting to look like
CS might be right; RMS is expecting an audience of >100. We're not going to
get that. Perhaps instead we can organise a bus or carpool to see him speak in
Unless I see a whole lot
more replies over the weekend anyway.
