quantum as opposed to classical, I do not see what is the connection?

I am not sure what you mean by classical information as opposed to information here. Can you be more specific?

I do not see how not using GNU/Linux is a social injustice. I disagree. It is already hard coded into many Linux distributions.
[olivares@localhost ~]$ uname -o
GNU/Linux
That should be enough. Nobody is being hurt, no one is losing money, or sleep(Maybe RMS does not sleep well because people do not use GNU/Linux when referring to your OS of choice), or not having a thing to eat because the people do not use the GNU/ Tag to Linux. People like to use the name Linux, and whether it is morally right or wrong I respect both sides. Still to force the tag it along the GNU part to the Linux part. It is already there!

Can your thread far exceed this one? I will not dare you to do it, but I think it is not needed. If you decide to create it, may people might ignore it and/or *block it*. This does not help either cause.

The right thing for me to do is to {sHuT ThE HeLl up}* as many people are ***very pissed off***, It is hard for me to do that * because I really enjoy reading the comments by all the members who have posted. I would like to remain on the sidelines and come in to the field of play when called. If someone calls me, I'll come back.
