I flagged this submission because:

1. It's not about anything other than RMS in a general sense (like, hey this guy exists). It's blogspam.

2. Because TFA contains nothing of import, the comments will just be a rehashing of the same tired arguments both pro- and con-.

Please (please) append the word "Essays" (or "Book") to the post title ASAP. This reads like an obituary and I'm sure many others will be concerned when seeing it in this form like I was.

Thanks.

1. I'm not a moderator and can't amend the title.

2. Why is it a priority that people not be "concerned"? They can just click the article and see what it's about.

I’m the post author. If people are deciding what the article is about based on its title (and the title is nothing more or less than the name of the article’s subject), they aren’t people I want as readers. The title stays as it is.
