    "Stuff that matters". Which this does.

    In case you've not noticed, Slashdot has been posting stories relating to copyright issues since Chips&Dips days. Maybe *you* don't care about this topic (or you just fail to recognise that it's heaps bigger than just the song "Happy Birthday To You", which is just the tip of the iceberg), but lots of technically-minded folks do, and many of them have personal and/or business-related concerns about it as well.

    I'm gratified to see my little barb actually sparked some interesting discussion.

    Did I not call the thing for what it is?

    I sincerely doubt that any court in the US is going to rule in favour of anyone's "right to armed insurrection", no matter how it's phrased.

    In any event, thank you, Cedric and "T". Coffee's ready now if either of you care for some.
