- Also, will like to add the that the S3 graphics engine differes
- in more than one register. And I refuse to tell little t. what
- the differences are, period.

- ^^^^^^^^
- Since, his intentions with respect to me seems malicious, I want to set
- the tone of future discussions between him and I. Yes, this is personal
- between him and I.

- Saint Thomas tends to be inflammatory during pseudo-technical discussions.
- For instance, "Are you so dumb that", in reference to something he has
- no clue of what is going on. His intentions with respect to
- me are malicious. And, as such gets zero amount of information from
- me. Folks, this is just something personal between thomas and I.
- This is not the first nor the last time that him and I going are
- at it. Whenever, possible, I will keep our hostilities private.
- I am very sorry that all of this is being drag out in the open.
-
-
- Since the technical discussions are being handle in the 386bsd and
- linux arena, thomas I don't want to correspond with you either
- private or publicly. If you decide to correspond with me it is
- going to be of a personal nature. Again, I have zero interest in
- having any technical discussion with you.
