[..smelly pile of bullshit from ESR deleted..] Can I call them or what? I hate being right sometimes. I would not take the threat seriously Bruce. Eric has more intelligence than that (though at this point I doubt he has a great deal more than that.. I'm sorry but this qualifies in my mind as colossally stupid) and it was all words with no force behind them. I think making the threat public is probably a good thing under the circumstances, but we should not go around proclaiming it's proof Eric is unfit for the role he has placed himself in. He's hanging himself, we don't have to help him. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer PGP: E8D68481E3A8BB77 8EE22996C9445FBE The Source Comes First! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- World Domination, of course.
