He said he used Linux IN 1991, not SINCE 1991. Reread that email.

I make no statements to my opinion of him by doing so; merely listing some information for others to form their own opinion. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=Jules+Gilbert&btnG=Search&meta= http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=Jules+Gilbert&btnG=Search&meta= http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Jules+Gilbert&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=3f8bfbd6.50906937%40news.wanadoo.nl&rnum=2 I am also going to state, for a fact, as documented on the links above, that Jules Gilbert has threatened in public forums to sue several people who have disagreed with him or questioned him in those forums. I have had personal dealings with Jules Gilbert, which I will not discuss here, other than to say that I ended those dealings in short order. All of the above is fact, and can be proven. I, personally, would hate to see someone censored or removed from this mailing list, but I also feel that it is only fair (and safer) that the members of this list have background information on this situation. -- DDDD DK KD An optimist thinks the glass is half full.
