That's your interpretation. But I also happen to know Karl. He has no
reason to be nasty. In fact, he's quite a nice guy. And he was
thanking you for not posting a bunch of urls.
And no, I'm not being nasty. I could be, if I wanted to. I just made
an observation about how you seem to take everything as a personal
attack on you.
I'd suggest you either get over it or get a job flipping burgers at
McDonalds. You'll never make it as an independent with that think skin.
As for your questions - frankly, I don't give a damn - at least not any
more.
