I'm sure many listers, including friends, feel
there's a way of you expressing your viewpoints in a
less vitreolic manner.
I'm offering a
rather democratic way to
resolve the issue: go to the fake "VCF" or the real
VCF, and see which one
you prefer. I'm willing to bet that most people
would choose the real
VCF, and the fake "VCF" would suffer. The question
is, does anyone really
want to take the gamble? It would be easier to just
come up with your own
damn name.
Agreed. You're entitled to the preservation of your
copyright (good luck when the infringement takes place
on a different shore), but (and maybe I stand to be
corrected) the original posts probably meant it in a
generic sense.
What is so original to the VCF that couldn't be
emulated if need be or even improved upon? Because of
a pubescent bunch of horse excrement, I haven't
attended the one in NJ, so I can't (and won't) speak
from any first hand experience. I've seen pictures
of
older ones, and if my opinion means anything, they
seemed a bit, eh, antiseptic, but perhaps that's owed
to some attendees particular presentations.
Keep in mind, since you evoke notions of democracy
and capitalism, competition is a necessary and
desireable component.
Who's Abdullah?
But let's get off this topic already. Mikey B is
bored w/it, and heavens we can't have that.
