As a natural skeptic, I would question whether this was really written "hours after" 9/11. Were we referring to it as "the 9/11 terrorist attack" just hours after? I don't know.
The Illuminati invoking pyramid icon throws up red flags for me. Maybe there's a more benign reason for it? Maybe he's an antisemitic conspiracy theorist? If not, why would you invite that kind of perception?

- WickyNilliams 13y agoI assumed the note at the top was an addendum to give some historical context for those coming across it at a later date (as we have :). This isn't some random guy spouting questionable views on the internet, Eric Raymond is a respectable (as far as I'm aware) hacker, author of the famous book, The Cathedral And The Bazaar. Not sure why he's chosen a pyramid insignia, but in and of itself it is a benign symbol. Only when one attaches conspiratorial notions to it (as you have) does it take on more meaning.
- herbig 13y agoI'm not questioning his software guru status, I'm questioning whether or not he wrote this hours after 9/11, as the historical context states. "the 9/11 terrorist attack" is part of the text, not the note at the top. The Swastika is a similarly benign symbol which people also associate with anti-semitism.
