I'll dump my 60gigs of mail in the mysql database and the other 30 gigs
of text on you and you look for it. It wasn't my intention to sue NYLUG
this morning. It's Brian, Peter and Sundry's et al's organization. I
have no executive power within it whatsoever, and don't really care to
either. I will only argue with him so far about what he does, and no
more than that.
So, no, I do not want to prove it to you. No, I am not going to make a
campaign about it, at least not at the moment.
And now I'm going back to figure out antlrworks.
