Thanks, Matt.

I was trying to think of a way to say that ...

I, for one, have met the guy once.  That was
educational.  I don't need to meet him again.

To his issue, I'd be open to calling our group
something related to open source software --
we also support GNU, BSD, X11, Mozilla, etc. --
but Mr. Stallman wouldn't like that either since
not all of "etc" is "Free Software".

The only way around may be to set up an informal
valleywide "GNU Users Group" dedicated to hosting
speeches by Richard M. Stallman.
