I don't care about the context of the formatting, as my mobile can receive any type of email and I never use a client on my computer other than a web browser, but I do care for the message itself and it's content.

But I'll revamp what my points were:

1. GNU is an operating system, and Linux is a kernel and small collection of kernel tools to use the kernel with the GNU OS. Linux is not GNU, and GNU is not Linux, or tied to any specific kernel.

2. We don't need svchost be replicated on GNU/Linux. We don't need a GNU/Linux OS with ridiculous system requirements.

3. Systemd requires udev to be viable, but udev and GNU/Linux do not need systemd to be viable. If we can effectively, and fully, replace udev and break the stranglehold it has had over systems for so long, systemd and kdbus become completely irrelevant. Udev is like a spine, and if it can be broken, the entirety of systemd will be broken as well. Vdev is not just the answer for Devuan but all systems that want to remain autonomous from the systemd dependency.

And, wait for it, wait for it, /dev/null any message whose subject
starts with "[DNG] Dng Digest, Vol 10". Seriously, there's a special
place in hell for those guys.

I also agree with The Caveman and would phrase it a little differently:
We're all in this to bestow and gain information. To the extent that our
communications are unambiguous, we will be efficient in bestowing and
gaining information.
