You're such a nice guy to argue with ;-).

I've been polite so far. Don't spoil it.

Get real. Many companies have great interest in my --and your-- data.
We all know that. Does directed SPAM mean anything to you?

That's okay. There are ways to organize that.

That's okay. There are ways to organize that.

Your statement, not mine.

Yes, indeed, that's my choice. So EAC does not work for me. Now I'm
sure it can be ported to other OS as well, but it is his choice not to

application.

I have no means to find out whether this is, or is not, the case. I
withdraw the remark.

Your statement, not mine.

That's enough. I quit talking to you until you formally apologize.
