Ironically, as with everything else -=20 any "don't read it" plea has exactly the opposite effect. My observation is that the typical "Russian soul" kind of=20 thinking/expression is pretty much incomprehensible in the "western"=20 world. Some real gems are often ignored/lost because of this. As is, by=20 the way the concept of "Intelligentsia" which is in the core of that=20 particular article. The author rightly points out that the different licensing models and=20 the resulting different culture (of development, administration, usage)=20 in the Linux and BSD worlds is the result of different perception and=20 values. The different knowledge and understanding of the .. world too,=20 plays a role. It's just like with how humans grow trough their life, you = have one set of values as a child, other as young/adult and yet another=20 as a senior person. Daniel
