Matt, I was pretty much ignoring this spat until I noticed that threat. I
agree that it is way out of line and you should protect yourself as best you
can. I can't believe someone would do something like that over one KB of
what, to them, is text.

Just goes to show you that road rage is not all on the road. We must now
drive defensively on the Information Highway. To carry a trite allusion even
further, many who drive '68 Datsuns resent those who drive SUV's and have to
do something to be able to look down on them. Info-terrorism is going a
little too far.

Until now I have not looked at your v-card, and I just now compiled "Warp"'s
sig... not a big deal either way. But as a libertarian I feel that both of
you should carefully do exactly what you want to do and then I will make
plans to do things on my end as a result of that. Unless you send code that
is invasive like a virus, folk should learn to deal.
