This guy Juli Ben-Yehuda is not an oficial voice within openMosix. He
ha so far only taken the voice of the one who slanders and critizes
without grounds and points people to the wrong direction. A team ot
top-lawyers are waching and documentiong his wrong moves like this one
and he and his friends will be prosecuted in court soon.

    This is really foul step. Starting from calling you in names, proceded to bashing your competence and finally discredited your civic status. M.F.
