In regards to Point 6, I'm sure that you would like it if I gave you all of my money, so why don't you give me all your money. (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you)
The "golden rule" does not work in practice.
Heh, you forgot about the second half.
I give you all my money.
You give me all your money.
Of course, it's easier to just leave the money where it is.
One wonders how many people like me there are, who use it but don't feel a need to find out about new releases because the old ones aren't giving us any problems?
Quite a few i imagine. Even counting downloads wouldn't begin to indicate the actual number of users since fetchmail is included with most (or all) popular distributions.
Certainly mailing list subscription gives no clue as to the number of users. (Nor, i suspect, was it intended to.)
In the world of politics, it's not just the really poor who are poor. In theory, if politicians were accessible via the net, everyone who could afford a cast off computer and net access could have a say. The/. effect in politics... No, it doesn't do anything for the truly poor, but it's a big step in the right direction.

Am I missing something?
