This is just a statement of fact." There is always a way of undoing things, it's simply a matter if you want to do so or not, and in this case clearly not. I don't see any reason why this conversation will be listed by just mailing a couple e-mailaddresses which I contacted before numerous times and no one responded for the simple reason they don't want to. Just delete all e-mailaddresses and state clearly that once posted it can not be undone. I'm almost sure that your practices are against the laws of privacy. Tomorrow I will check this out, as a matter of fact I already did. You have no right to publish things without permission. If all this crap is ever to be published, no one will believe, gnu.org is simply making itself ridiculous by publishing this. I just got another mail from Christopher Faylor, which "threatens" to block me from sending mail, why not, once again so much freedom... There isn't even freedom of speech here. Do I continue until I'm blocked? --- Robert Dewar wrote: > I did not mean my message at all as a threat, but > just as some helpful advice. Note that it was sent > only to you, not to the list.
