I pressed the transmit button prematurely, and used my homegrown top level 
domain. Here it is again, with URLs you can actually browse to, and also 
including a later URL that I think best represents FOSS developer motivation:

* http://www.troubleshooters.com/tpromag/200011/200011.htm#_jonmaddoghall
* http://www.troubleshooters.com/tpromag/200011/200011.htm#_furtherthoughts
* http://www.troubleshooters.com/tpromag/200201/200201.htm#_linuxlog
* http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200310/200310.htm

The preceding URLs also show the evolution of my understanding of FOSS 
motivations, from hearing but not really understanding maddog's words, to 
living and understanding them.
