What annoys me is this now persistent stream of insults, slanders,
and thinly disguised advertising slogans. Every single person who has
sent in an insulting post to the rtl list over the last year has received
funding from Lineo/Zentropix and often they don't bother to mention this.
I don't mind if people have different ideas, if they compete, if they 
dislike each other.  I do object to slanders and duplicitious marketing.

And Stuart, I hold you responsible for much of what goes on. You have
a position of responsibility  at Lineo.
You know me and Michael, you have used RTLinux
and worked with us before there was an RTAI, you have had many technical 
discussions with me and I've seen some of the ideas I suggested to you
appear, without credit, in Lineo/RTAI announcements. And yet, when, for 
example, Karim sends in absolutely hateful posts, filled with material
that you know to be false, you have remained silent. In fact, you have
contributed to this absurd atmosphere yourself. You can't  even 
disagree with our completely legit extensions to POSIX without asserting
that we are trying to deceive our users. 

My impression is that there is a concerted attempt to 
to damage my professional reputation and I take this quite seriously.
