Yes, may be. I have posted another message to him, And tried to explain 
in kind words what did I mean. No flames. I have had no intention to do 
so at first time...

Look what he wrote to me (second reply from him):

<QUOTE>
And why, for example, I got a whole host of emails from Israel at exactly 
the same time to add to the ten megs a day of drivel I'm getting on this 
subject. Bombarding me with emails, binaries, multiple listserver 
subscriptions, pornography and a couple of death threats - which is what 
the so-called Linux community has decided to do - can be described in 
many ways, but 'free speech' is not one of them.
</QUOTE>

I'm sorry for this guy if someone of us have used one of the 
annoing methods he describes here. Please, Do NOT do it. It does add no 
good values to our community, And I mean it !!!

Ira, you wrote a wonderfull article (reply) (I have learned some new 
things from it about Unices History)
I think it worth to be printed in "The Sunday-Times" or at lease at the 
main gate of linux.org.il.
What do you think, 
Shell we ask him to publish Ira's article as a respond for his :-)

OK, Stop the Fire !!!
