I hope you do realize how much this reminds us of _1984_ ?

Not talking about something is a bit like sticking your head in the sand.

It's really not a healthy attitude.

As far as free software goes, it's a bit like developping everything in
your own corner, completely ignoring whatever goes on in the commercial
corner of the world... or not acknowledging its influences.

I'm sorry, but not talking about something that exists won't make it go
away.
