PJ,

Why do you keep quoting Alex Terekhov as though he were some sort of
authority? 
(That's both a straight and a rhetorical question).

That poster is a plain troll and a spammer; intelligent, devious,
abusive,
foul-mouthed, patronising, and allround thoroughly objectionable.
Together with
several anonymous posters, he has destroyed the gnu-misc-discuss mailing
list. 
The archive of the mailing list is at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-misc-discuss/

Not so long ago, this list was vibrant and interesting, with discussions
over a
broad range of subjects, and its loss is a loss indeed.

Whilst the validity and bounds of the GPL are certainly on topic for
gnu-misc-discuss, these posters started foghorning it on the list,
perhaps two
or three years ago. The plain nastiness caused bona-fide posters to
unsubscribe, and the list is now dead. Perhaps that was the intention. 
Arguments that they are fouling up somebody else's patch and trespassing
on FSF
resources are ignored, as are other appeals to decency.

When the FSF created the mailing list it also created a usenet gateway
to it,
but mistakenly decided not to make the corresponding newsgroup
moderated. Those
were the early days of forums, and the people setting them up naively
assumed
that other posters would be, in the main, convivial and decent. It is
through
Usenet that these posters post.

PJ, every time you mention Terekhov as though he were in some way
important,
you'll be sending him a gratifying tingle, encouraging him to carry on
with his
spamming and trolling. This is most galling to those of us who have
expended
countless hours neutralising his FUD and trying to save the
gnu-misc-discuss
list.

Please, don't feed the trolls. Not even this one.

ROFL!

regards,
alexander.
