I will act as an arbiter for a minute here, can I? The support for your position comes in bulk from "historical" data. Ted holds that the whole Netscape ordeal was manipulated to intentionally put Microsoft into vulnerable position in that respect, so as to divert attention of the court from other, far more important issues. I cannot judge how right this statement is, but I would thus say you are relying too much on those records being TRUE (a keyword here, means the kind of scientific truthfulness Feynman was lecturing about). So, it seems someone here tries to weasel out of the fight before it is over, no? ;-P > DS [SorAlx] ridin' VS1400 _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
