    So do I.  Why I am dissing him is that he is characterizing
    those of us who stood up against the cult, as criminals and
    scofflaws.  He is attempting to steer the issue in such a way
    as to stake out the most ground for his clients, the current
    owners of IPs.  I consider him like a person at the opposite
    end of "my party".

    Besides, I don't thik I need him telling me in public how or
    what I should post to ars.  It just pisses me off.  He
    assumes he represents the highground.  I dispute that because
    of his vested interest in the outcome of these issues in the
    court.  I want to see the maximum ground gained for the
    common man with these issues regarding internet in the
    courts.  I want to see the quasi-legal, fascist power of the
    current copyright law defanged once and for all, in favor of
    the rights of the individual on intenet.

    If you think I'm gonna let this Andrew lecture to all us
    endlessly, without jumping on his tendency to spin things to
    the favor of future business for him (and that's what he's
    maybe doing here - spamming for business) you have seriously
    misjudged me.

    I respect your opinion and will note it as time goes on.  I
    respect people to the degree they respect me.  If you call me 
    a lawbreaking criminal, I will be right there, in your face, 
    to be similarly rude to you.

    And how come you and Kaplan left me hanging with that stupid
    Espee of the Month Contest?
