I sent my message to you offlist since, IMHO, this belongs offlist.  I
should have made that clear.

FWIW, anything that you include in your email is "content".   It is part
of what you send...and you are responsible for everything you send.

I did not say you have libel anyone.  I said "free speech" doesn't mean
you can't be found "libel".  My comment is not related to what you've
said thus far..but simply illustrates the limits of "free speech".

I only used "Fedora" as an example.   

In any event, all of this should have remained on the "off list"....and
how I intended my comments to remain.  I'm sorry you felt the need to
bring it public as I am equally sorry for not having made it clear in my
email to you.  Feel "free" to respond "off list" as it is my request
that you not continue to post my off list comments on list.
