Today someone from Apple asked for help. I think it's likely that his Sun 4 is located at Apple and is being used for Apple business. I don't think that a look and feel plaintiff like Apple deserves our help. If you agree, I suggest you disregard his message. For more information on the issues behind the boycott of Lotus and Apple, contact league@prep.ai.mit.edu.

*******From The GNU Manifesto, Copyright (C) 1985 Richard M.

Apparently, if They hoard information from Us, it is Evil, but if We hoard information from Them, it is Politically Justified and that is OK. Re-read what YOU wrote in the GNU Manifesto. Cease and Desist from these public calls requesting information hoarding or accept the label of Hypocrite. -- Peter L.

I had the feeling that most of the GNU lists were now moderated. If the FSF does want Apple employees to obtain help from other folk, surely a simpler way of doing it would be to filter all such requests "at source". I agree with the policy of excluding Apple, and would tend to extend it to other hoarders. Paul Barton-Davis
