...coming in to the discussion a bit late, but it would seem smart
to remember that the more focussed we keep the discussion, the more likely
we are to get people who agree with us totally. People who agree that it
was wrong to jail Dmitry Sklyarov, and that the DMCA needs to be taken to
the Congressional woodshed for a sound whuppin', may not proceed to agree
that it makes sense to continue to boycott Adobe, or to oppose Mueller's
appointment. I'm not sure *I* agree with the last two, but am definitely
on board for the first two.
