>> _I feel_ that discussing/arguing about Philosophy is vain
Feeling and discussing are two different actions. I feel that the
philosophy of software sharing is good. Mailing List discussions are
articulations having an effect of clarifying the underlying philosophy
of sharing. I have learned a lot from such articulations. And as such,
these clarifications should not cease from happening, it should continue
and they shall never be seen as vain.
On the contrary I see most of the "LUGS" discussing superficial
technical issues and generally do not have any idea of where they are
going. In these "LUGS" you find a bunch of experts who are vain and are
very wary of sharing what they know. They have their own caucuses.

>> And that's how I see most of my friends are
I see most of my friends as discussing things of common interest. We
absorb things and help each other, rather than keeping things which we
may have learnt, to ourselves.
