You deleted a level of attribution inappropriately. Again.

I'm not sure we need a law for it. Aren't you a recent convert? Or was it someone else who was deleting attribution lines, and I've done you the mis-service of thinking it was you?

Did I say that? No. I pointed out that we *already* *have* anti-lying laws.

When to make a law: when it makes sense to do so. When not to make a law: when it doesn't make sense, and/or we have one already. -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
