13 Yes, and it's probably one of the reasons I like it so much. But your
14 work also depends on other people, and the community is far from being
15 anarchist (so far at least :)).

24 That's true, but I also expect a certain amount of fun for something I
25 do on a voluntary basis. If I spend all my time fighting, even for ideas
26 that I think are good, I expect it to quickly become a pain for me as
27 well as for others who do not share my views. Besides, I also respect
28 that other people can have different opinions on those matters and if
29 I'm more or less alone to think in some way, I shouldn't try to force
30 people to my views.
