Are you so independently wealthy that you don't have to work for a living? Do you think the management at Red Hat will allow you to continue to abuse customers? I have been very conservative in taking abuse from you. I have even respected your right to an extremely obtuse and naive concept of intellectual property and how "GPL" strings somehow validate something. However, I shall not allow you to call me a pig. You will retract that statement or I will use all means at my disposal to have you terminated from your place of employment. Very Truly Yours, Richard B.
