I agree, I've had far more contact (real contact, not "telephone 
operator with a fake American accent" contact) with people from 
the rest of the world since I got involved with free software 
than I had in my entire life previous to that.  It forces you to 
treat people in other countries as real people, as opposed to 
"furriners" as a lot of the people in my country say.  And being 
exposed to world perspectives makes me realize how limited the 
view from here would be without the net and (for me) without 
free software.
