Nope. Please don't put words in my mouth. In fact, a high-school
friend of mine has had plans for many years to launch a pbm company,
and I expect him to do well when he gets going. Of course, he does
have an MBA degree, so I suspect he'll have enough capital to survive
postal strikes.

Then stop making them up and putting them in my mouth. The only
offensive comment I've made recently was an indirect one about the
business sense of companies in mail-strike-prone countries which can't
survive a mail strike. That's bad business. Period.

This whole bru-haha reminds me of the debates over the gnu c compiler:
anyone who likes something free can easily be painted as
anti-capitalist. Oh well. You still have to explain why I continue to
play in pay PBM games...
