Several of you wrote to correct one important flaw in my op-ed the
other day about Kapor, Lotus, lawsuits et al.

Your response was that Kapor has not been affiliated with Lotus for a
period of time, except as a stockholder, and that he has stated in the
recent past that he did not agree with the legal actions Lotus was
taking against people alleged to have ripped off 1-2-3. Apparently
Kapor has no authority over anything they do there.

Therefore my complaint of his hypocrisy was in error.  At least a
couple dozen messages pointed this out, and said nothing further, so I
won't print them, since they all say virtually what I stated above,
and it would be unfair to arbitrarily pick some and skip others.

There were however a few messages with additional commentary on the
work of the EFF and these will be excerpted and printed in an issue of
the Digest on Thursday evening.
