Hey everyone!

You sure know I'm currently trying to do a heated discussion with
the OSI, for the third time, to get them to officially certify the
MirOS Licence. Well, turns out even _that_ is impossible, since I
can't stay heated when getting a laughing flash, see for yourself:

I got this response because, when replying, I forgot in _one_ eMail
to trim the recipients.

How, for whatever's sake, do they think someone would EVER take them
seriously, if they do GNU/Linux kiddie things like THAT?

still laughing senselessly,

detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions
in English text in bold font.	-- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C"
