	"Later?"  Am I to understand that you don't even have an opinion
	yet about Sklyarov?  You're not behind him now?  But subscribed?

	Are you also posting stuff to mailing lists about knitting and
	kite-flying and homebrewing?

	Honestly, you are massively overreacting.  What about all those
	heartless people who went back to their jobs, and are working
	instead spending all day meditating on the tragedy?  What about
	the Weather Channel showing weather forecasts, rather than 24 hour
	coverage of the attack aftermath?  What about grocery stores that
	are still selling vegetables and TV dinners when they could just
	sell American flags?

	Sorry, but people still have business to attend to, and there are
	places and forums and things that have purposes other than talking
	about bombing Afghanistan.  If you don't like it, boycott everything.
