Yeah, and year after year Charles Manson goes before the parole board to
see if he is eligible for parole.

Okay, does this mean if I take, oh let's see, Jawaid's gno/me, and
sector edit it, and call it Oh-gno, then it becomes mine?  What if
I were to upload it to my own bbs, calling a gno/me compatible unix 
environment, as freeware?  Is this okay too?  Last thing: if Jawaid
finds out, and threatens to sue me, can I say, hey, it's not my fault,
it was never meant to get out.

Simply reporting Dr. Tom's stupid arguments is one thing, your attempt
to justify them is simply moronic.

Thanks goodness I am no longer an active GS user; if the so called 
preservation of the GS heritage depended on people like 1WSW, then 
we should all sell our machines now.  sheesh.
