To be fair, I think what he meant to say was, "It's NOT a program, and thus
(as per the standard rules of SR VR2) does not [do wahtever]."

I haven't read VR2 in a long time, so I don't know if that's actually kosher
or not, but it's the exact opposite of what Erik and Paul *thought* it
meant, which was: "It's NOT a program, and thus doesn't follow the standard
SR VR2 rules."

(I fully agree with Erik and Paul that the latter would be VERY BAD, but
again, I don't think that's what was meant.)

Anyway, I'd just like to repeat the standard email/Usenet warning about it
being easy to misinterpret things on the net, and the standard plea to watch
your wording carefully and think before you post. And that's the last thing
I plan to say about this whole affair.
