   Good point. I thought rms gave enough of the appropriate disclaimers about 
Jobs' death to make his point with the appropriate amount of taste. That ZDNet 
article obviously felt otherwise because they couldn't resist a slam on 
Stallman.

   Perhaps with Ritchie's passing rms felt he'd caught enough heat about 
commenting about people when they die?
