And then walk away saying, > "See, you didn't prove anything!" I already pointed out the problem with the quotes. Your response to my request for the context was "go find it yourself." Come on - show me a single direct quote where he says "go steal programs". Or even two sentences, one that follows the other, where he says "publishers call sharing piracy. Share as much as you can". Better yet, provide a URL for that. I'm willing to read what you have to say and evaluate it, but I'm not going to take change my opinion just because you say so - I except you to actually prove your point, not merely bore me by constant repetition of it. > Which, of course, shows nothing but that it is pointless to converse > with you. You should be flattered that I chose to imitate your rhetorical technics.

Most of them learned that responding to what you write is a waste of time, because you aren't going to pay attention. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
