In article <4245@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu> jnh@ecemwl.ncsu.edu (Joseph N. Hall) writes: The use of "free" software (working and beautifully-written, too) as a kind of intellectual and economic cudgel to be used to smite those whose viewpoints do not coincide with your own is a dismal and pathetic gesture, not a noble one. Interesting kind of cudgel. You have to use it on yourself for it to have any effect! Shades of Monty Python's _Holy Grail_: Die Jesu Domine *clonk* Domine est requiem *clonk*. If the use of "free" software hurts you so much, stop using it! -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Live up to the light thou hast, and more will be granted thee. A recession now appears more than 2 years away -- John D. Mathon, 4 Oct 1989.
