He was never on the list and I'm not sure how he got a hold of it. And surely he should have known better. Regardless, it was my mistake to send an email that could be so easily abused by someone. That Mr. Tiemann needs to go so far out of his way to try to kill a free democratic movement means we must be doing something right. Obviously, FUD is not practiced only in Washington state. Still, I wish he didn't involve all of you and voiced his concerns directly to me. But that wouldn't have served his purposes. It amazes me that even after 200 years, democracy is attacked by the people in power. But there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come (again), no matter how the people in power try to resist it. For those who don't understand why Mr. Tiemann would choose this particular time to attack me and democracy. It is because of my PITAC article in LinuxToday.[http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2000-09-14-006-21-OP-CY -SW]. Mr. Tiemann was on the panel that did what it did behind closed doors, without Stallman or community involvement, and is trying to de-legitimize my questioning of that. Again, my apologies.
