I guess that's why Larry gets to do his sailboat stuff. I refuse to be a
party to his wealth-vacuum mechanism. Perhaps he has outgrown EST but still
I do not trust this man. He has done very bad things to the world, IMO. And
I shall not forget them, and if you want a list, I can happily provide same.
This man is the opposite of Google: do no evil. Larry is into Do Evil
wherever the opportunity arises. And, I have to admit, he is remarkably good
at it. But it remains Evil, and I shall in my meager way fight him to the
death of one of us -- given his resources, I expect that I shall lose this
battle, but that's for the judges to decide. I am not quitting, just because
his army is vastly larger than mine. Think several recent wars, USA v.
Afghanistan, USSR v. Czechoslovakia. and many other examples.

I am not trying to push some political principle here. This is emphatically
the wrong place to do so. I intended to keep this on the track of SQL, but I
guess that I strayed a little bit. I apologize for that, and I intend to
return to the original subject. What are we to do about the significant
software problems confronting the world-wide marketplace?

All suggestions and ideas are most humbly welcomed and appreciated.
