Mike:

I don't think I was speaking of recipies (I'm glad you spelled it right
'cause I couldn't).  I was speaking of business concerns.

I never claimed that Star Office needed Motif, I said, Last I knew, it
needed Motif and asked for a clarification.  That was IMMEDIATELY after
seeing a reference to it on Star's page.  I asked Jordan if I was wrong
about that and he corrected me.  I'm satisfied with his answer.

My only concern in this whole argument was whether there was a way to
distribute commercial programs and protect the vendors and whose
responsibility it was to focus on different markets, be they NT/95, BSD,
Linux or what have you.  

I said hostile because I felt you came in when we went overboard with
Star as an example and you came in shooting people and calling them
stupid.

I don't see how that educates anyone.....

-Mike
