OK - as a Black American, and with ALL of the connotations implied with
that, all I have to say is:

1) There's an old saying which goes, "Never argue with an idiot because
the rest of the people won't be able to tell the difference."

2) Please, everyone, don't feed the trolls.

This my second - AND LAST - post on this thread. I will ignore all other
posts on this thread, particularly from David in Brazil, where there
apparently is free speech (probably in Portuguese). He will probably
want the last word anyway.

Amazing to me this has gone on this long, but there has been virtually
no response or discussion on my post to fedora-list about my long
conversation Tuesday night with Bruce Perens talking about Fedora.

sigh...
