WOW!.....You sound SO much like my college professor!.....LoL! But 
message received, I will from now on take the "Logical" approach before 
letting my emotions run rampant!...LoL! It's just frustrating though, to 
see a distro that you fell in love with from a while ago (F13) not be 
all it can be. ...but when you mention the legal aspect of it, I realize 
that although people love to create and run free software....NO ONE 
wants to go to court...or worse JAIL for it!...LoL!
