Just to be clear, we didn't give the blackmailer any money. As Mike Homer put it: "We don't bargain with terrorists."
Netscape wants money for one of their products. I won't give them money. "I don't bargain with terrorists." (What the Danes offered was a straight buiness deal, albeit made weirder and more frantic by the constraints of time, publicity, and worldwide attention. Still a business deal, though. When Collabra wanted X dollars to be acquired by Netscape, was this also "terrorism"? The term "terrorist" hardly applies in business deals.) --Tim May There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
