,----[ Quote ]
| As Bailey emphasised, the issue at stake is not one of fighting against
| Microsoft, but rather fighting for the rights of the user to be able to

|
| Among those attendees were some other members of the committee and something
| of a strategy meeting developed, with ideas being shared as to how best to
| obtain community input.

| What emerged was that bombarding the SABS with petitions would not benefit
| the cause and would merely further irritate those involved.
