I also don't think it's up to you to judge that.

Well, I have read his book. And before you write more non-sensical drivel like that above, let me just quote him, yes?

Translated from German, so it might differ from the original. Page 253, Chapter "Ruhm und Reichtum" (Fame and Wealth)

So we come to the second question which I'm usually asked about the "burden of wealth": "Will the success get to Linus' head and-or corrupt Linux?" Will I turn into a egoistic, spoiled jerk, who writes books about himself just because he wants to see himself in print and needs money to finance his new, useless car.

Of couse the ansewr to that question is: yes.

In another part of the book, where he talks about not responding to email he receives, he says something along the lines "People think Linux turned me into an butthole because I don't respond to email. This is untrue, however. I always was an butthole." I couldn't find that exact location anymore, however, so it's quoted from my mind and might be inaccurate.

So, before talking so smart about what Linus' considers or not, please read his book.

I also don't think it's up to you to judge that.

You seem to care an awful lot about me when you only consider reading Linus' book as soon as one about me appears.

Also, when you admit in your second sentence that you "don't know" if I'm a jerk or not, why do you claim it all the time? This makes you less credible.

Are you implying I'm a liar? I think you should really consider reading his book before trying to tell somebody who actually READ IT what Linus thinks or not. You're the one who didn't read it here, yet you make a dozen of stupid buttumptions and spread your opinion about Linus as if were his. Silly, really.
