[lug] Re: Fwd: Re: possible Qwest protest action in Colorado

[Brett Glass]

Matt:

I didn't know that Slashdot had published anything until I
read your message just now. I generally do not read Slashdot,
because its employees have posted defamatory remarks about me 
in the past and most of its readers seem to unthinkingly support 
Richard Stallman's anti-business, anti-programmer agenda. (As
a writer of commercial software who is struggling as it is to 
compete with Microsoft, I certainly would not want to support a 
group which seeks, out of spite, to destroy my livelihood.) But 
I would be happy to participate in a protest against Qwest's 
activities.
