*I respect your choices, md. I'll agree with Sam Clemens. But not Lincoln. Instead of him, and even though I'm a native New Englander with ancestry back to the Mayflower and beyond, to the Wampanoag and Nipmuc, I will pick General Robert E. Lee. I have my reasons, though not a topic for this list. And no movies stars nor athletes here, either. Cheers.* * * ***P.S. I think that Lee would have chosen Linux long, long before Gettysburg and Appomattox and it would have given him a decisive edge. * On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 9:50 PM, Jon 'maddog' Hall <[email protected]> wrote:
