You hit it. His only mistake was in getting involved in that non-issue. The only reason that the thread got into news was because he personally got involved in it. When you are a public figure, you should at least know to avoid anonymous cr

I remember reading this article in 1995, in its context. And remember long discussion on mailing lists on this article. All these problems were real at that time. We overlooked most, because we were working to fix those. This article worked
