</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Do you really think it will help to find a consent calling people who

</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Why? An 'orthodox' is a person who follows his beliefs very very strictly,
</I>&gt;<i> 'fanatic' has a similar meaning (yeah I know those two words are sort of
</I>&gt;<i> redundant but I just wanted to express how extreme the view appears).
</I>
Orthodox is neither positive nor negative, correct, it's just a
description of a certain opinion. But &quot;ultra&quot; makes it as unacceptable
as &quot;fanatic&quot;, which means sticking to a certain opinion without
seeking any consent with others.

&gt;<i> Ultimately it was just a way of expressing how extreme I consider the idea
</I>&gt;<i> that &#160;free and non-free software on the same physical media would be
</I>&gt;<i> unacceptable to them, even if the installation procedure clearly asks the
</I>&gt;<i> user whether to install the non-free software or not.
</I>
Ok, so I can call you a &quot;ultra-non-orthodox fanatic&quot; by your
definition? No problem.
