How long do you have? :)

When I first saw this story, I decided to post a load of excerpts from the book which in my opinion constitute the author rewriting history. This annoys and offends me and it's important to set the record straight, but time is limited. I could spend time writing an article here, or I could be working on a letter to the Irish representitive to the Coucil of Ministers regarding the Councils decision on the proposed software patents directive.

Resisting the temptation to give out about ESRs (fictional) book is hard :)

criticise actions, not people

I retract my remark about ESR. It is his actions I have issues with, not the man himself.
