Stop sending this shit to nyfairuse.org. If they were NYFAIRUSE, then
they would be me.
Now you got yourself in their shithole.
REPEAT
I, Ruben Safir, do affirm under G-D, that I was the sole founder, and
the sole organizer of NY Fair Use, and that the people running the NYFAIRUSE.org
site hijacked the Domain, and are, in fact, materially, damaging the work done
previously by NY Fair Use.
Do not USE THAT LIST.
Do NOT say Linux, when you mean GNU/Linux and Do not use NYFAIRUSE.org
when you mean NY Fair Use
Let them start their own damn organization....
That being aid, see the first page of the curent NY Fair Use site
at http://fairuse.nylxs.com
It covers what you said and is the write up for our next efforts.
