Hi Dean, I would rather you be heard by our congressmen and it is within your right and privilege. The thing is the bill was filed in congress, the chair has no other recourse but to refer that bill to an appropriate committee. So no matter what we talked and discussed here it will just be for our consumption in this public mailing list. No amount of argument in this list will stop that bill from pushing on in congress. But if you will be attending the public hearing then you could provide insights of whatever you view as limitation, short comings or flaws that you want to point out.
But if you ask if Linux and FOSS is good for our government, all I can say is NSA has recommended SELinux, all fortune top 500 runs Linux in their businesses, China is using Linux, India is using Linux and so is Hezbollah,Alqaeda, Iran and Iraq. For whatever use and purposes FOSS have served us all well. thad On 9/22/06, Dean Michael Berris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Nothing's stopping us from doing the same here Thad, this is a members-only public mailing list. If you don't like the discussion, you have a choice to ignore or not read it. > We heard and read enough after all your lectures will be a great > learning experience for all congressmen who will hear yah.
