yes. at linux and main we try to avoid shooting first and asking 
questions later. on this you apparently disagree with us.

as to our being "very pro-software patents," i do not think you'll 
find anything on the site to suggest that we favor software patents, 
never mind very much doing so.

what you'll find instead is the suggestion that in reference to red 
hat's having filed for two software patents we wait until we know 
what they're up to before attacking them. there's a certain segment 
of the linux community that seems to love nothing more than a good 
lynching, to its and linux's detriment.

best,
