EXACTLY WHAT RMS DID NOT DO!!!
Boy you should be sending this to RMS instead.
You talk a little sense in some of the phrases in your replies.
But you are talking to the wrong people.
So please Cc RMS.

Again this is for RMS.
He does not fix the problem at his end. those are

1) Apologize for slandering other projects who don't come under his control.
2) Do Research to find out the truth
3) Be practical ( Demon+wget )

And all he does is is complain.

1) I made a minor mistake.
2) Everything He says is OK.
3) rolling in the mud after falling down without trying to get up and be clean.
4) Lament how Linux devs don't listen to him.

and more...........
