Yes, I do.  I am unfamiliar with those new cases you've added, although I
have at least used kde and gnome.  I chose which one I liked, but I've never
coded for either.  So the analogy falls completely flat for me.

I do.

My point is the comparison is silly because you are claiming that Hans
Reiser cannot communicate with the Linux community, directly or indirectly.
(I am unfamiliar with the rules he operates under, so I will take your word
for it.)  Peter at least has the indirect option open.
