I actually agree with some of the views expressed there. I've already 
expressed mine on this list. Know your target. Learn marketing. Show an 
average Joe that there's an alternate that works equally well. Show 
businessman how to save money and get better security and stability. Show 
freedom to those who're concerned with it, wannabe hackers for example. Learn 
marketing.
