Uh, has it occurred to anyone out there that the folks doing the litigating (the lawyers, presumably with prodding from the upper levels of management) are the least likely folks to ever appear at a trade show? The folks attending the conference are just like all the rest of us trying to earn our keep by doing the UNIX/software thing. Look, I'm not fond of what USL is doing *as* *a* *corporate* *body*, but I like a lot of the things the folks in the trenches have done. Do you seriously want to be abused because of the corporate policies of *your* employer? -- --------------+ <Delapsus Resurgam: When I fall I shall rise. --(10cc)> Marty Shannon | My opinions are just that.
