    Not only is this an amazing story, but it really is noteworthy in its own respect to see how it overall leads one to conclude that the free software community is having alot of trouble taking off; seeing how it is surprising to realize that there is this subconcious fact brewing in everyone's mind which leads them towards an description; having no sense of what success is using rhetoric to spread sacreligious beliefs and views about the way it should be done, considering Lennon was using tactics approximately close to what could be described as an apparant reason contrasted to the opposistion's arguments, then branching off another seemingly apparant and obvious reason in contrast to the defense of the argument, and continuing this way we see a pattern which is not to help those in any way, but rather to destroy capitolism, and that was his goal -- and people bought into that, and most have failed.

    No man is an Iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the
    Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea,
    Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if
    a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes
    me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know
    for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
    -- John Donne, "No Man is an Iland"
