I have seen the "wraith" of people who think I "defend" Novell,
Microsoft, even SCO to the point of causing some people to get _fixated_

damn me when I am I critical of the "oh, the great Linux savor IBM."
My apologies for this "bark."
I've just paid a "heavy price" with people I refer to as "the 97%"
by
attempting to "explain" Novell recently. Sigh, there was nothing better
for the GPL from the SuSE avenue than when Novell bought SuSE.
