I may have contributed to the problem there inadvertently, by assuming
everyone knows Jay and Ruben aren't terrorists. I mention them by name
only because most everyone in the NY area that's become involved with
Free Software probably knows Jay and Ruben. They've moved beyond the
need for last names.
I don't think I was alone however in this error. Much of what was
written about that event was tongue-in-cheek, or meant to add a touch of
heroics to their actions. One man's terrorist is after all, another's
freedom fighter.
Congratulations again (because it can't be said enough) to our Freedom
Fighters. All of you, and I know it's not just Ruben and Jay. I've met
many of you and I don't consider any to be terrorists of any sort. I
think the record shows they've had a positive impact against those who
do terrorize us for the sake of their obsolete business models.
Ron
