[free-sklyarov] Re: Drive Adobe Nuts

[Pablos Kadrevis]

Thanks for the idea.  This is a creative way to fight back on par with 
emailing your free Acrobat Reader binary back to Adobe's management, 
ripping the printscreen button fof your keyboard and mailing it to Adobe, 
and pingflooding their servers.

Most of these ideas have been discussed and we passed because antagonizing 
Adobe doesn't come across as a plausibly effective means of activism.

Thanks anyway,

pablos.
