Hi Cavin,

I very much hope you are having a better day today and that your head

is not too sore. Over indulging is a mistake a lot of us made when we

were adolescents. :-)

I always try never to be too harsh with youngsters like yourself as I

believe its important that you learn to contribute to mailing lists

etc and do not get put off.

As Emmanuel pointed out 87.5% of the action (its an action at this

point, not a suit. I will leave the research into the difference as an

intellectual exercise for yourself, any problems I'm sure your mummy

and daddy can help) is regarding patents. I dont remember saying that

all of it was about patents, but if I did, I humbly withdraw that and

replace it with 'overwhelming majority is about patents'. Only 12.5%

of the action is about copyrights, so I think all reasonable people

would say my assertion is more valid than yours.

I'm not against a good flame war, but they should be about something,

not just one person throwing personal insults around, do you see the

difference? Its an important distinction, and one you need to learn as

you grow up.

I actually agreed with your initial post, but since then your

adolescent behaviour has just become boring, and I have grown ups work

to do. Procmail is now delivering all your mails to /dev/null so dont

expect any further comments from me. Besides I dont believe in

encouraging bad behaviour amongst children.

I very much hope that I can remove this recipe as you get older and

your attitudes mature, but for now I wish you all the best,

Tim
