> * Most (positive) facts about unix brought up in this dicussion are true, yet my original mesage makes 100% sense. (Take it seriously and read it a few more times, you'll begin to understand.)

I find nothing of your last message made sense.
 
> * Never hack. We are proud if we can call ourselves programers, not hackers. (Richard Stallman: learn a lesson here. (Besides, 'hackers' are now understood as 'crackers' and it's hopeless to revert it.))

1. I like being called a hacker, i still see this word the way it was
made, the way that people across the internet used it. I am a good
programer and proud to wear that title. 

2. There is nothign wrong with cracking, there is a lot to learn from it.
Of course, thats as long as you use it in the correct manner.
 
> * Be ambitious. Be very ambitious in your programs. When writing a program from one-liners to mission critical, think of it as a life-death matter. (The year-200 problem is an excellent example of stupidity that sterms from programers of the unix-mindset.)

Actually, you are wrong here. The unix problem is 2037, not 2k. This is a
windows and windows programer thing. 
 
> * Never distribute you software, unless you knew it is the BEST in the world in what it does. You may feel better if you think you did some contribution to the world, but it's more likely that your program is doing some long-term irreparable damage in the computing world. (e.g. unix, CGI.pm, File::Find)

If you believe this, get off the internet.

Mail privately if you must feel like 'helping'. (polite version: shutup if you don't know what you are talking about.)

Then be quiet or as you say, and I quote, 'Shut up'.
 
> * Don't bloat your ego on public postings. When posting, be considerate that what you write is clear, valuable, and beneficial to the whole group. For example, look at this message. (ha ha ha)

Good god, take your own medicine.

> * Study and respect computer science. Don't listen to philosophical farts coming out of Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, _and_ most 'Perl mongers'. Larry Wall knows a fart about comptuer science, nor linguistics.

So your saying that people that are 'unixers' dont have computer science?

> * Lastly, I want those hardcore unix folks to think about this for a few minutes: Why did Richard Stallman choose such a 'disagreable' name GNU, and just how much you should thank GNU for what they have done to help the unix community.

That was a personal opinion that your now using as fact.

You lie, but not very well.
