The ACCESS/Apple troll has a degree in drama (his only qualification). He
loved Apple and polluted GNOME. Haven't heard about him since last year,
so I assume the sex shop fallback he had set up is now a focus? Rather
than personal attack blogs?

Even Snit did the "IP" propaganda in yesterday's show. They say "IP", not

I think I can copy that. No prior art?

I think one popular theory is that there are an almost infinite number of
universes But our tiny planet Earth hardly counts in any of those..
