Are we on drugs or what?  Have you ever looked to see how many patent/
copyright lawsuits IBM has filed?  Admittedly not many of them go to
court - you don't win that kind of battle.  Take token rings for instance.
Apollo was fighting that one when HP took them over, unfortunately HP
had already given up and paid.

I don't agree with these lawsuits either, but I don't let it turn me
into a blind fool.  Evaluate the deed, not the doer.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
