This group is for discussing software, not legal issues. Why are there so many of you who insist on jumping down someone's throat for the mildest infraction? Between this and the stupid perl argument, there is no information in this group! Don't any of you write small bits of useful software? Post them please, I'd like to see them. I read them and learn things from them. I might even make some useful changes and mail it back to you so you can use it. I bet that over 80% of the readers of this group are like myself. The loud minority, however, insists on exploding all over the group whenever they find something done wrong, or with the "wrong" software, etc. etc... Followups to gnu.misc.discuss. -- Rodney
