Mea culpa.
As a long-time fan of RMS, FSF, and all the folks (especially our
very own DJ Delorie) who create and support software under the GPL, a
lover of Emacs since the days the DEC-20 version responded to
ESC-ESC-CTRL-G with "Oh, so you can't hack buffers, sucker!", etc, ad
nauseum, I recognize and applaud the effort etc involved in supporting
even one platform.
I would not speak for Alan Eldridge on his actual level of
paranoia, he'll do that for himself. But I did not mean to imply that
he actually held such a paranoid belief that RMS wanted to make life
difficult for DOSniks. (I think the attribution to "alane@..." and
characterization of the remark itself as "paranoid" are correct,
however.)
I apologize for, and will try to contain in the future, my sick
and obscure sense of humor.
