It is. This is the 3rd time this week that I have heard this. What do you mena "not going anywhere"?

Wait a minute. They went to court and alleged things about IBM, thus giving IBM a forum to respond. You bad mouth them on a list, without CC:ing them. And you call _them_ a "goonda"? > Getting in agreement with SCO just because of > allegations rather than facts would be most stupid > thing. Sorry, cannot resist quoting Dave Barry.

Why not you? Heck, I will put my money where my mouth is, and spring up cash to your legal fund. You get to keep all the money SCO pays you after you win the case over "adopting unethical practices". Folks, SCO has a right to sue IBM. Their right persists even if we all "know" they are wrong. Our perception of SCO fits the definition of prejudice (pre--judice), as in deciding before the facts have been heard. As Voltaire said, "I will oppose what you say, but I willd defend your right to say it". -- Sanjeev _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
