[free-sklyarov] Fw: Correction: Protests *not* cancelled

[Alex Fabrikant]

As a friend of mine has just pointed out, Hemos has managed to make the

Reproduced below, with ambiguous part underlined:

+++
A number of people have sent in the e-mail that just crossed the
free-sklyarov mailing list, that essentially states that the EFF and Adobe
will have a meeting July 23rd. They are putting planned proest on hold.

all the folks who e-mailed me; the EFF is asking for the protests to be
put on hold, but from what I've seen in my inbox, the protests are still
being planned. To reinforce this: The EFF is asking to hold the protests,
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
but planners are still moving ahead with this.

I suppose this only works in favor of those of us who are still working on
escalating momentum for the protests, though...
