Jeez Randal, That _was_ meant to be funny. While I have not done huge things for Open Source, I love it, use it, evangelize it (why do you think I was searching for material to make a case for opensource). And I also realize on a daily basis that a lot of it is because of Tim and his network. I haven't met him, but would love to, because he has written about things that I agree with at all levels. I just found "Oh Really" very funny when I found it on The Register's site."Puneet" == Puneet Kishor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

If that's meant to be funny, it's not. If it's because you don't know how to spell his name, it's "Tim O'Reilly".
Do not disrespect the man. He's done huge things for the Open Source movement.
We all have different sensitivities for humor. What you might find funny everyone else might feel offended by. But at least let the man himself disapprove. For all we know, Tim would probably have a good laugh at it even as you are chiding me for it. If anything, the email was meant to be just a respite from the "make emacs do one more thing" kinda emails.
I don't believe I have transgressed any line here, so I don't think this merits any "serious" response from anyone. Lest anyone else think so, I am sending this to the entire list. If anyone finds it offensive, this email should explain its not. If anyone doesn't find it offensive, read it, delete it, and move on.
