I can't make sense of nonsense, but that proves nothing about my reading skills. You've done a careful job of excerpting prior context away to avoid demonstrating the contradiction your words show. Do you recognize the author who inspired by remark about A and not A? Who was it that said "Non-contradiction...A is A"? > Nobody is trying > to convince people not to buy adaptec hardware.

Such a claim is disingenuous and dishonest. > Why are you so desperate to try to stop other people's efforts to > obtain > information? I hope open source projects obtain more information from hardware vendors. I oppose efforts to force people to make choices they would not willingly make themselves. That includes the right of a company to keep some information private if they so choose. > Nobody is asking you to do anything. You are free to use > whatever you want.

First you say you aren't asking me to do anything, yet two sentences later you try to tell me to stop doing something you claim I'm doing. Contradicting yourself again? Hypocracy isn't one of your prettier failings, Adam. -- -Chuck
