What would you do if the forum had a subscription fee (to post classifieds, etc)?

Oliver: I don't feel its irrelavanet, so I said it.

Harry, what I meant was that what I said was completely irrelevant to the discussion!

I just thought I'd throw in the point that 'free software' doesn't mean 'free' as in money, but 'free' as in 'free speech'.

And I'm sorry if I repeated earlier points. But I guess that means more then one person agrees. I'm sorry you feel that disagreement should be confined. Plenty of people said yes from the beginning, you haven't been having a go at them.

I certainly don't think disagreement should be confined at all, but it does help in developing a position to read everybody's opinions and, if possible, build on them. If you read all the 'yes' positions, there's considerable variation between them, too. And I certainly didn't mean to have a go at you. Sorry if it came across in this way. As I also said, I know it's a pain to go through such a long thread, so I can quite understand why people wouldn't, by now.
