Hi Cavin, I very much hope you are having a better day today and that your head is not too sore. Over indulging is a mistake a lot of us made when we were adolescents. :-)
I always try never to be too harsh with youngsters like yourself as I believe its important that you learn to contribute to mailing lists etc and do not get put off. As Emmanuel pointed out 87.5% of the action (its an action at this point, not a suit. I will leave the research into the difference as an intellectual exercise for yourself, any problems I'm sure your mummy and daddy can help) is regarding patents. I dont remember saying that all of it was about patents, but if I did, I humbly withdraw that and replace it with 'overwhelming majority is about patents'. Only 12.5% of the action is about copyrights, so I think all reasonable people would say my assertion is more valid than yours. I'm not against a good flame war, but they should be about something, not just one person throwing personal insults around, do you see the difference? Its an important distinction, and one you need to learn as you grow up. I actually agreed with your initial post, but since then your adolescent behaviour has just become boring, and I have grown ups work to do. Procmail is now delivering all your mails to /dev/null so dont expect any further comments from me. Besides I dont believe in encouraging bad behaviour amongst children. I very much hope that I can remove this recipe as you get older and your attitudes mature, but for now I wish you all the best, Tim On 22 August 2010 04:08, Mugarura Cavin <[email protected]> wrote: > Emmanuel Mulo, > lets assume after reading the suit you found 1,000 references to patents, > and 0.001 references about copyright infringement, > what difference does this make.
