	Let's do what we can to make sure that Sklyarov's arrest, and
	the subsequent boycott, is mentioned in every news item reporting
	their earnings.  [Chances are it already will be, thanks to a
	amazingly organized and effective effort.]

	Sure, there's not a direct connection between earnings and
	Sklyarov, but then again... siccing the FBI on Sklyarov was a
	supreme act of computer illiteracy.  Somone at Adobe is empowered
	to make pretty dumb decisions affecting the whole company.

	BTW, the Microsoft virus problem is getting worse by leaps and
	bounds, and I find more articles on the subject as a result.
	Some of them are predicting a grim future with XP, which will have
	more high-end capabilities but mostly end-user-level security.

	We gotta make it part of the general public perception of this
	rising crisis, that not only are viruses going to get worse, but
	the security experts we presently have are being jailed or
	otherwise silenced by giant paranoid corporations.
