It would be clearer to consider your suggestion in context. Could you
please point an example of a project I blocked with lots of
philosophical questions?.
We shouldn't neglect the philosophical foundations of free software and
the GNU project. I usually *point* philosophical issues, it's not my
intention to block the project by doing so.

I don't understand what do you mean.

Thanks for pointing my mistake. However I totally disagree with your
opinion of github.
Alexander: Please excuse me. I accidentally skipped the aforesaid
message (Found it now in the archive).
