This whole lawsuit thread is getting a little out of hand with uninformed
speculation, idle bantering, hysterics, angst, and irresponsible posts,
like John Ryan's 'Several Ideas for retaliation.' (4442@hq.hq.af.mil)

Jesus. This simply isn't done.
While we're at it, here's another fine idea for retaliation:
Never, ever, ftp to research.att.com and avail yourself of the collection of
sophisticated mathematical software or the set of papers on network security
that is maintained there.
Well, now that I've vented my spleen, I can't really complain about the
plummeting S/N ration here, but it has become a little difficult following
this newsgroup lately. Let's try to keep the noise down, everyone, and give
a little room for the people who are actually pushing forward the frontiers
of free BSD. It's not going away.
