The subject was that @newbiesforever felt ambivalent about Stallman's phrase, which he gave us a dissertation on as an English major. I feel ambivalent about Stallman - period. That includes nearly everything he said. I felt I could disregard some of @newbiesforever's remarks, because contrary to his apparent opinion, America is not the centre of the universe, or English thought. After all, and somebody will probably attribute that correctly and perhaps even more correctly. That's semantics, imho.
