"Nice people who offer a great part of there free time to realize
an idea" is a good definition for a "saint", or a "maniacal", not
for "leader". A true leader manage and monopolize other people's
free time, not own. In this sense, I feel me maniacal: to project an
yet-another-Linux-distribution is maniacal, how to project another
operating system.
Leader like much to control other people, also in the total sense.
In this sense, Hitler and Mussolini are leaders. I take pleasure
controlling myself, not other. I'm definitevely maniacal, not
leader. There are people who not fall neither in the class "leader",
neither in the class "gregarious". I call them "maniacals": they
experiments a sort of maladjusting towards real world.
I can't absolutely be compared to Linus Torvalds! Oh,oh: this is
matter of many, many order of magnitude, unfortunately. It fall in the
class of saints!
