Re: SEUL: Hardware support for Linux

["Aldo-Pier Solari" <solaris@fobos.ulpgc.es>]

Beyond any intentions whatsoever to flame anyone, I would like to put 
forward my opinion on this issue: To me, it looks like Paul Anderson 
<paul@geeky1.ebtech.net> is proposing to make a PR Clockwork Orange 
out of this. I'm not sure whether Paul is serious. As I understand 
it, he's proposing to set up a strategy of marketing lies, repeat 
them over and over again (so they become 'true') in order to 
succeed.

Well, that was enough for this evening to me.
Cheers,
