IIRC, as he works for IBM, James is forbidden from commenting on the matter. Several people (myself included) assaulted him after an RLUG meeting after hearing he worked for them and were told the above. > Reading the Telltale Heart is not the same as plagiarizing Poe. Consider, you hear a loud thumping coming from under your floorboards. You try to ignore it but it slowly grows more annoying and more deafening. Finally, it's unbearable, so you call the police. The police arrive and ask you what the trouble is, but conveniently, the thumping has stopped. You tell them about what you're hearing. While there, the officer notices a copy of "The Telltale Heart" sitting on your coffee table. He politely closes the interview and tells you he'll look into it, obviously having no intention of doing it. Meanwhile, as the cops drive away, your downstairs neighbor turns his 18" subwoofer all the way back up to 11. In this way, merely being in the same room as the content in question has caused you to lose all credibility with the authorities. IOW, how are they supposed to know? :) Cheers, Tim Hammerquist _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
