As far as I'm concerned, the only thing you did the "heaviest work" on was perverting
the Free Software movement into the bletcherous abomination that is "Open Source".

I think T.S. Eliot said it best -

    Now is my way clear, now is the meaning plain:
    Temptation shall not come in this kind again.
    The last temptation is the greatest treason:
    To do the right deed for the wrong reason.

Although I am pretty sure that your way is not even the "right deed".

THEOREM: VI is perfect.
PROOF: VI in roman numerals is 6.  The natural numbers < 6 which divide 6 are
1, 2, and 3. 1+2+3 = 6.  So 6 is a perfect number.  Therefore, VI is perfect.
