No sensible person is going to believe that. I certainly don't, and I'll
think you find no one else of any decency does either.

Look, Roy, you've got to start thinking for yourself, instead of following
this line. I say Rex is nuts not because DFS does, I say it because he
*is* nuts. Or at least he gives a damn good impression. That's why I say
you should take a more balanced view. If even half what Rex said was
remotely true he'd be the richest and most famous man in the world. He
isn't.
Giving himself unwarranted credit for many of the computer industry's
technologies is not honest, or credible.
The fact of being a Linux advocate doesn't automatically convey virtue,,
or honesty. In fact, if a Linux advocate is dishonest, it's worse, because
it brings discredit on the whole of Linux.

Well, I wouldn't be one of 'em. It's pretty obvious there's something
serious happening to the world's climate, whether or not it's directly
caused by Man (and I'm sure we have a good deal to do with it). Those that
disbelieve are entitled to their opinion, though, however wrong it may be.
