Yeah, a lot of us in the open source community does as well, but
in the area of operating system API standards, the big commercial
vendors managed to drive the car into the ditch ten years ago, and
there is still no sign that anybody would even want it to be pulled
out, so sometimes a cabal is the best you can hope for.

Your repeated attempts to twist sentences around words like this,
only exposes the lack of substantial arguments from your end of the
discussion.

I don't really care what your definition of "is" is, and I am
certainly not going to ask for it, since that might inspire the
press to run Monicas picture in the newspaper every day for another
two years.

The civil day starts and stops whenever the most powerful civil
authorities for a given locality decide it should do so.

Your sophistry is not going to change that, so please spare us this
pointless noise.
