But I should point out the facts on a few points. 1. I don't think Jay freaked when he turned around and saw me. I thought he was amused. (He and I have known each other for some ten years or more.) 2. I personally have never worked on the Hurd--other people do that. Likewise, I did not say that I personally would write an ICQ server or a replacement for SAP. I don't expect that I will do this--I don't have time. The replacement for SAP will probably be a number of programs written by various people. It may take years before we have it, but we will get it sooner or later. 3. It sounds as if I were being unfriendly to the English reporter--"not giving her the time of day." My feelings were entirely friendly; I told her I was busy that day, because I was busy that day.
