"I also have not net connection much of the time"

Even that's quirky, when you can hardly buy a phone without Internet capability these days. You have to be deliberately avoiding a connection.

Those phones you speak of, do they run 100% Free Software? If not, rms isn't interested.

Is it really? Don't you get sick of being "always on" sometimes?

Perhaps the averse reactions here have something to do with too many of us living in densely populated/over-populated or even over-stimulated environments; the short-attention-span generation?

Sometimes I do... I give my self breaks, I also be sure to not watch television and read books often. It helps.

Even when you are off the grid, you can still get 24/7 high-speed internet with bi-directional satellite!

Sure, but it doesn't mean I'm without a network connection. There is no situation that I'd want to be uncontactable by everyone. I've an IM client on my phone that a very few people know the account, that will always notify, even if I've chosen to ignore every other kind of message.

RMS is just being ornery.
