I met RMS once at a car show probably 10 years ago. He was doing a meet and greet with some other old stars like Gerald Sussman at a table that anyone could come up to. For some reason, I was addicted to the Free Software Foundation when I was a kid/teen. I'm 32 now so that shows how much of a social life I had. I read probably every article on his website so I was pretty excited to meet him. I politely said "hello" and "I loved GNU when I was a kid." He stared me straight in the eyes for what seemed like an eternity and didn't say one word. No expression on his face. No anything. I just kind of slowly walked away. Somehow, I've managed to meet and hang out with a lot of celebrities and bands and the goddamned Stallman experience is the one that sticks out and haunts me to this day.

>"Holey moley, he called it GNU and not 'Linux.' For the first time in a long time, someone actually called it GNU. For the first time in a long time, I didn't have to interject someone. Is this real life? Am I dreaming? Am I on the verge of a seizure? Am I dreaming? I need to perform a lucid dreaming reality check."

but It caught him off guard, i'm sure he was ready to tell you to call it GNU Linux instead of just Linux, but had to stop himself

Maybe he was priming/reinitializing your /g/ loop. So, whenever you log on to /g/ now, the first thread does this deep dream thing where the frame buffer is filled with frames that make him nod, or drop his brow, shake his head, etc. And now that you've had the actual pleasure, not even google can get through to you. You are free.
