This is very funny.

See, imagine you are subscribed to a Military list. Then, you post a message 
about how bad weapons are. Your post is sensible, accurate and true. But, 
nevertheless, many of the people in the list post messages arguing your 
points, telling things like "I make a living carrying a gun" and "the world 
is no perfect, so we need gun-toting guys called 'soldiers' ..."

Then, you menace of leaving the list for its lack of openess.

Find yourself here.

It is no coincidence that Linux users are people that grew tired of bad OSes 
that, instead of solving problems, crated more. People that was used to a 
variety of OS and programs and, eventualy, there was one single option. 
People that discovered that their DR-DOS crashed with Windows 3.x . People 
that tried Unix before Windows. People that when trained in Windows 95 
discovered its many flaws. People that lost many weeks of work because 
problems with one Microsoft produt.... and there was no competitor to switch 
the product. People that reads the (abusive) licenses (end-user license 
agreement or EULA) and find it a major piece of legalesse to cover the 
corporate ass of a company that does not even tried to make good products 
when there were no competition. People that grew tired of finding that you 
must buy yet another OS when you buy a new computer. People that grew tired 
of seeing non-profit organizaions that must buy "Corporate-style" licenses 
whenever they get more that a dozen computers because the current monopoly 
doesn't allow to lawfuly pass OS with the donated computer.

I would recomend you some history
