I consider her attack to be worse than mine precisely because it was disguised and intended to mislead people into thinking it was not an attack but a call for unity. > that is useless and uncomfortable to me. I found it useful and comfortable. You get to determine what you read and write, not what I read and write. Therefore your only way of avoiding discomfort is to exert the control which you do have over what you read and not the control which you would like to have (but do not) over what I write. > I am sure that Bill Gates would be very glad to read this thread. I doubt it because this thread shows that nobody owns GPLd software and that monopolies are not possible in Open Source. The fact that there can be dissent is entirely foreign to Bill's methods of operation. Bill would be far happier if Inter 7 had been able to enforce their desired control over Tom Collins and the users of vpopmail because then development of vpopmail would have stalled again. Bill would be far happier if owners of projects could insist that nobody fork them because they had left the project idle for several months and ignored requests for bugs to be fixed. > And Ben Laden to read your comments. Dubya has done more to drive up al-Qaeda recruitment than bin Laden ever did. Which is only fair because bin Laden has always been a puppet of the same people that control Dubya. The attacks of 9-11 benefited Bush and his cronies immensely, which is why the ample warnings were "ignored," why the US Air Force did not follow Standard Operating Procedures that day, and why there continues to be a massive cover-up over events. For a European you are almost as misinformed as most people in the US yet you do not have their excuse of media willing to cover up Bush's lies and incompetence. This recent article by a UK Member of Parliament covers only a small portion of the damning evidence against Bush but should be enough to let you use google to find the rest. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/iraq/comment/0,12956,1036687,00.html -- Paul Allen Softflare Support
