I don't know, guys. I've read some of Linus' writings, and I'm not sure
he is totally balanced. I am a bit of a radical and Linus makes me look
like vanilla pudding. I don't know about his financial stability, but I
might want to classify him as a "rich eccentric." And, you know that's
just a fancy way of saying crazy. He is obviously brilliant, but I
think he's just a touch coo-coo. Sometimes I think that ingenuity
breeds insanity--which many people get confused. I know that if
thoughts could kill, I would like to see him in the ring with Bill, but
that man is one beer short of a six-pack. That's just my $.02.
