Ludolph you are entitled to your opinion. I picked up on the story on 
softpedia and fudzilla and then followed up the original which appears 
to be stefanoforenza. I believe my conclusions are valid and the issues 
I rise are a topic for serious debate. I wanted to share my posting and 
blog with the mailing list, and believe I am within my rights to do so. 
If there were no "tinfoil hat loonies" as you put it, there would be no 
crazy Linux users. This is why they call it Mad Tux. So I am honoured to 
be called such names and feel entitled to express my opinions.
