We see Wolfram's choice. I find it sadly amusing that Richard Stallman, who has repeatedly attempted to wield his own sword in a fashion intended to force specific behaviors on others, would accuse Wolfram of attempting to gain power over others. And I find it quite unsurprising that, in so calling the kettle black, he cannot resist painting himself as holy and his opponents as the embodiment of darkest evil. Give me a break. -- Geoff Kuenning g.kuenning@ieee.org geoff@ITcorp.com
