Message-ID: <8809262141.AA00514@sugar-bombs.ai.mit.edu> Date: 26 Sep 88 21:41:26 GMT References: <14713@agate.BERKELEY.EDU> Sender: daemon@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Distribution: gnu Organization: GNUs Not Usenet Lines: 14 Even if you want encourage people not to purchase Apple hardware in the future, please don't be too hard on "innocents" like me. A victory for Apple would wipe out a large amount of future GNU software. The result would be that everyone would have the same trouble you are complaining about now, only much worse and permanently. This is what I am fighting to prevent. I'm sorry this fight inconveniences you, but I think it would be wrong to stop fighting against permanent defeat for all software-sharers, just to spare you for the duration of the war. I hope you can think of your inconvenience as your contribution to stopping Apple.
