In fairness he was responding to the Debian tabloid press, which traditionally takes an event, removes all semblence of useful information from it, and posts an inaccurate remark along with a URL to something inappropriate. So his primary error was in believing what you read in the tabloids. (In this specific instance, it looks like one of my offhand remarks swatting down a non-argument, under the assumption that -legal subscribers understand the context and other people have sense enough to ask - right alongside four other posts with detailed explanations. Gotta love tabloids). -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
