By the way, I don't know exactly who you are. But you're my friend, and Slashdot emails me every time you post something here. So, hi.

That's good, you had me worried.

Well, I guess we know which camp you're in.

I was going to assert that I have indeed dropped Dove in the shower, when I made a horrifying discovery:

It's the western mentality.
"Hey, does this belong to anyone?"
-> "It's mine."
"Oh. ...Can I use it?"

"Oh."

Ownership is one of the core concepts of western culture.

Most Ubuntu users who ask for my help are quite willing to open a terminal and run whatever commands I deem necessary to "fix" their problems.
They'll even add "sudo" to the front of the command line if a command fails. All by themselves.

And they know me...how? Because I joined #ubuntu@freenode and said something that sounded intelligent?

Security through obscurity: as soon as spammers learn how trusting FOSS newbies are... well.

I try to stay away from the elitist argument/viewpoint, since it tends to lead to some nasty holier-than-thou social delineations.

I don't see you volunteering.
