Well I guess since "Many" (I've seen one) have no ability to filter out a 
small diversion that they are not interested in, and several of you have no 
interest in actual facts and instead wish only to make personal attacks and 
ignore what people are saying, then this list is clearly not tha august body 
it once was. Feel free to continue the misappropriation of words and labeling 
anything you don't like as theft despite the lack of meeting the basic 
criterion.

I guess I should go now before you start accusing me of stealing their time, 
bandwidth, and attention since clearly they must lack the ability to focus it 
on their own.

it is truly a sad day when a Linux oriented list disdains from researched and 
founded arguments, instead relying an unfounded assertion and generalization, 
not to mention personal attacks.

Cheers,
Bill
