Who voted down this guy? Linus earned his stripes; 30, 20 or 10 years old, the man delivered a world-class piece of software. Patronizing him is just pulling non-existent rank so ESR doesn't feel like a fish out of water. Remember, while Linus oversaw the hottest piece of Unix software to come in decades, Eric Raymond was making a living off of "seniority" and "lore". Eric Raymond is the spokesperson of an "in-crowd" whose membership he didn't earn.
