I think you're misreading Larry here - although to be fair, Larry does seem

I apologize to you and you still accuse me of things. The only confusion I have is you. Do you think the club is a business or a club? I’m not in the club to make money; I’m not in the club to support a certain group. I’m in the club to have fun. (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
