| Right here.

I'm sorry, I must've missed the lively, insightful, constructive discussion on
the two threads started on the Novell/SuSE merger story.  After all, it's been
3 hours since it was posted, and the story is burning hot, queues of posters
waiting for their turn to chime in, 2 threads started to make sure there is
sufficient capacity for all to partake...

And the only people who are pro-privacy are criminals and terrorists because
they have something to hide, right?

Really, why *do* you find my GPG-signed message so offensive?
