22 That other people don't have a 9 line counting footer and are not
23 official Gentoo developers does not say they are so much different from

26 Well... I'm a squatter, I try to live anarchistic and I do not prejudge
27 people. And if I disagree... I certainly do not say things that go
28 straight against the subject in discussion and break the social Gentoo
29 rules on offending other people.
