I see no personal attacks in his posting. |I apologize to comp.sources.d readers for his failure of self-control. Matt's article was well written. Dan should apologise for his baseless accusations. |I will uphold my reputation as a conscientious developer of good, free |software, and I see no reason to tolerate Matt's unfounded attacks. Matt isn't attacking you. He's attacking your ridiculous copyright notice. I'm amazed at how some otherwise intelligent appearing people, who can do wonderful things like write software, can't seem to understand the difference between personal attacks and professional criticisms of something they've done or created. Is debate dead? Can we not discuss the merits of something without someone taking it personally? Sean -- *** Sean Casey sean@ms.uky.edu, sean@ukma.bitnet, ukma!sean
