I would like to apologize to Randy Shackelford for the above statement
(and I guess it wasn't a good idea to use Mitch Spector as an example
of the one who is framed either).  I don't know what got into me, maybe
too much caffeine?  Must have somehow connected Randy's defending Apple's
decision to go Mac by trashing the GS's capabilities with others in this
thread.  Sorry about that...

The original point of my statement was to illustrate that Joe posting
the list is a good idea.  Why?  First, expose the pirates.  Second, there
is a very real chance that someone might be framed and Joe will go on
thinking that they are pirates.  EITHER WAY, posting the list will clear
things up.

Think about it -- if Dr. Tom is really as evil as people say he is, he
could frame a bunch of innocent people by downloading LemminGS multiple
times with different email addresses in his FTP software.  If I were
framed, I would like to know...
