>Insects/crustaceans have a skeleton, it's just on the outside. It's called an EXOskeleton. Don't remember basic biology? They still have the same body plan, just that they lack vertebrae, like you. Legs? Check. Head? Check. Torso? Check. So, by extension, most animals on the planet DO have a skeleton. You, however, have the brain of a sponge.

Your biology is still wrong. Body plan has an accepted meaning and verterbrates and insects do not have the 'same' one to any biologist.

I doubt that any biologist in the last century has attempted to homologise insect and verterbrate skeletons. They are radically differrent organisms.

Even a layman might be uncomfortable with your contention that rigid inside squishy outside is really the 'same' as squishy inside rigid outside.

Oh yes, and sponges don't have brains, or nerves of any sort.

That being said, I agree that early experimentation, later standardization is a pattern from biology that we would expect to see repeated in Linux distributions. Your analogy was apt.

In closing you perhaps should reflect on your taking a minor quibble or clarification as a direct personal insult requiring insult in return.

Someone doesn't remember basic manners, online or otherwise. I'm confident that other readers will reach the same conclusion as to who.
