I interpreted this latest statement to suggest that "nobody" is the
opposite of "everyone"...
Too bad the world isn't quite a binary as these statements would seem to
suggest... There's a lot more "gray" in both groups.
"Many people have predicted the fragmentation of Linux Distributions."
"Most people aren't referring to the Linux /kernel/ when they say "Linux"."
Of course those statements aren't as likely to evoke an emotional
response, and therefore, aren't good as bait...
