I'll do the wise thing - I'll simply let you guys feel you are right, and
that I am wrong. It gives *you* the satisfaction you are seeking, and
gives *me* the satisfaction of knowing that I know what I was talking
about, and that my viewpoint remains unchanged. 

All you will have achieved is making me shut up for the sake of the sanity
of this list (which Sabir has already argued), and which was my original
intention anyway.

I know that this is a sad way of ending it, but it *does* give me the
satisfaction of knowing that you can do nothing about it.

p.s. As for my BBS software and the source code - could we get real here?
I wrote that software in 1987, long before I, you or anyone else here had
ever heard of Linux (for obvious reasons). And it was never a GPL'd
product, just like the Irix never was. Bring that up as a debate point is,
to say the least, childish.
