I like your quote Joe. I reminisce the days of 1998. 

What you say is exactly what is happening. I ask technical questions
on the list about OpenOffice and no one responds. I post an email as to
why you might not want to use OpenOffice and the FLOSS'ers (FOSS as you
call it) immediately jump to its defense.  I think we have a number of
hobbyists on this list. There should be a Lugod elite organization. Those
who practice it and those who get it. ;-)
