You do not have to worry about his message scaring someone off :) Not when
there is 1 bad message about GPL and about 2,000 good messages :)
I didn't think i would like it but i was pleasantly surprised.
Looks like the crowd who made it are Italian or something,
judging by the credits.

That's one perspective, which you have a right to choose. I prefer to focus
on the bigger picture, which goes beyond being "wrong about GPL".
You were wrong for jumping into the discussion since you don't even play the
game, and didn't realize who the players were in the discussion.
"We" here on RAS consistently complain that we don't get enough feedback
from the insiders at Papyrus, but whenever they do chime in, even to point
out a simple little feature like Scott did, someone like yourself turns it
into an argument.
No big deal, we shouldn't take it so seriously, but I'd bet that Scott will
think twice before he hits that send button the next time.
No you can't
Yes you can
No you can't
Again, ridiculous.
That's exactly what I experienced on my STB 12mb V2. This is really odd-
seems to work on some systems, not on others. Maybe there's more at work
here than I know. But it sure looks like the answer is "yes it can".
Thanks again for the heads up, all.

I said that I did not think you could, they came back and said that with GPL
it will actually work.
I dropped it.
Where are you getting this "no, yes, no, yes" ***from?
You seem to be the only one dragging this on. Kinda strange especially
considering that you said you would not talk to me anymore.
