Watching the latest flame war, I can't help thinking that as

founders of their respective projects Theo and RMS are trapped

in a jail of rigid consistency and absolutism demanded by

children and utopians.  Only at home, with the door locked,

are they free to boot their home's sole computer, a Windows

box, watch some Real Media streams and play a few Valve-

controlled games.  And late at night, when the ice weasels

come, a hypnogogic fog provides cover for a last conscious

thought:  "I wish, I wish, I wish... *I* had written OS X."
