- Which means the ``cannot'' should probably be ``will not''. I could
- comment about standing up to a bully, but it isn't my cross to bear and
- CMU has to do what they feel is best for them. Sigh.
-
- P.S. Rumor has it that tar snapshots of BSDSS/BNR2 (from just before it
- was jerked) can be had from various places for the asking. Of course that
- is just a rumor---I wouldn't want to be accused of sanctioning the
- trafficing of this allegedly contraband code. AT&T's ``beady eyed toon
- shysters'' might get it into their miniature brains to come after me.
