Dear list members,

It has been pointed out in a private mail to me that a statement
I've expressed may be misinterpreted, it concerns the following:
-----------
 If you Mr Aharonian, try to do anything to cripple my
    perfect software world with it's unlimited capabilites,
 then Mr Aharonian, 
 then I promise to do ANYTHING to stop you.I'll never give up fighting you.
-----------
As was pointed out, someone who is less honorable could possibly use
this statement to indicate that Mr Aharonian's physically safety
would be threated, possibly including killing.

I did not see any such risk myself, because I weigh what I say very
careful.

If it can be proven that I never lie,
   which I think anyone who knows me would confirm, 
then the statement can not possibly include killing.

To assure that Mr Aharonians physical safety is guaranteed, I will
therefore make the following completely clear:

The logical AND between:
"I promise to do ANYTHING to stop you" AND "I'll never give up fighting you."

implies that this statement can not include killing and still be true.

If I die and have the possibility to still fight him, I will!

Now, if Greg would die before me, then the condition
 If "you Mr Aharonian, try to do anything to cripple my perfect software
     world with it's unlimited capabilites",

becomes false, so the consistence of the whole statement is always
preserved.

That is, physically, Mr Aharonian can always be safe for me!

     Best regards
     Roland Orre
