Sooner or later? Brian's asshat behavior got old for me long ago, and
I'm not even one of his customers. We can ignore the question of whether
he hijacked NewsWatcher source code to build Thoth. He's pulled this
kind of cry baby "software isn't paying for itself" shit before in the
past. I don't see the behavior changing. So I say fuck Thoth. Good
riddance.
