Well, I've never met Linus, but from what I've read and seen, I reckon
I'd like him a lot. 

The Good doctor's main problem appears to be that Linus hasn't bowed out
of Linux development (he's still doing a good job as far as I'm
concerned), and that somehow it is unreasonable to make money from his
hobby, and also that in spite of having more developers, the *BSDs are
more secure - and, oh, yes, Linus is sometimes nasty on the kernel
mailing list (I'd be too) - and he doesn't like ESR. (If the good doctor
wants nasty he should hang out on the OpenBSD list with Theo de
Raadt...)

I have no problem with his not writing perfect English - I would have
difficulty writing in Russian, but he could organise his thoughts
better.

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
