Here's how I figure it Jeff. I don't recall Dan acting in the way this
guy describes *hearing* in at least a year, maybe longer. Everyone on
this list knows where Dan's been and anyone that has followed the news
lately also knows. When someone shows up like this and acts as some of
those old microsoft folks did years back (remember the IBM/M$ split?),
I figure they're just here to stir up trouble and should be ignored. If
they really wanted to know something, they wouldn't have been asking all
over the place after visiting Dan's site and www.qmail.org, they would've
come here before going to someone prominent whose name is witheld (could
have even been Wietse!). Someone must feel threatened by qmail's ever
increasing popularity!
Vince.
