You guys are wasting your breath. Mr Freed has no interest in
accuracy or honest reporting or integrity of expression -- it's
entirely too boring for his messiah complex world government
fantasies. He believes that he is the chosen son of Tom Paine, the
sole voice of reason in this benighted age, and thus by axiom,
anything you say is merely a "linguistic nit".
The contrast with Jon Postel, a person with real personal integrity
and ability who *earned* his reputation, could not be more profound.
Jon has a genuine place in in the history of the Internet and all
the social promise it brings. Mr Freed is a microbe who won't even
be a footnote.
