Re: [ga] Follow-up on Marilyn, Lary and Bill

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Thank you for pointing out my vagueness. In your correction of placing
blame where
it belongs you are of course correct. What If any blame I was placing
upon the
technical folk was for not killing the political and lawyer folk before
they got so
entrenched. OTOH how were you to know that they would lie cheat and
steal your hard
work from you.

I guess what I am really doing quite awkardly is asking for your
patience, as us
newbie political and lawyer types come in and fight the dirty war to get
the
internet back to where you all wanted it in the first place, in the
hands of and for
the good of the people. After the recent history I can understand your
disdain for
us non-technical types, but I promise you we are not all bad (often
misguided
perhaps).

Sincerely,
