i always wanted to do a bsd based soap.
TDR: You did not show simple astonishment -- you judged a sponsor.
FH: can't you just accept the fact that i was _happy_
for the foundation? that despite feeling betrayed
by the fact that my favourite OS accepted stolen money
from a convicted monopolist...
TDR: Enough Leech! You have an agenda!
sorry, couldn't resist.

said Mr Goebels to Mrs Goebels after Hitler left the
dinner party.
sorry, couldn't resist again.
gasp, so now a bsd developer tells me i cannot judge
(not that i did) microsoft on an open mailing list,
after said microsoft just donated a bucket of money
to said bsd developer's project? you can't make this
up, life immitates art.
jesus, you really sound like an american now.
what's next, you gonna sue me?
get a grip man, you are monty python heritage!
in a private email of yours you said you know zero
about microsoft, as you did not have to use it ever.
lucky you!
i wish i could have had that luxury of ignoring them
the same way i could now. because i know a bit about
microsoft and some of their products as i have been
following them for the last 20 years.
so excuse me when a piece of news like this hits
i become alert, just like 90% of the other non-freaks
out there. i am sure KRW felt way more surreal writing
that press release than any of us reading it.
why single me out when 90% of the mailing list was
thinking exactly. the. same. so who has an agenda now?
