Hi Thomas,

I am sorry to see this.  It has never been my intention to attack you, or
to suggest that your work is somehow immoral or without value.  On the
contrary, you seem to have done an impressive piece of work, and the
enthusiasm of your numerous fans shows that your efforts are highly
appreciated.  I encourage you to continue improving Toga.

I have only meant to attack the numerous absurd claims made by Eduard
Nemeth and Paul Jacobean Sacral.  I cannot allow such statements to
remain unchallenged.

Fabien is a very patient and methodical programmer.  He doesn't add
all the known tricks of the trade during the first couple of months
of programming, like most of us tend to do.  He prefers to add one
new thing at the time, consider carefully how it is best implemented
within his overall programming philosophy, and proceeds to test it
very carefully before he starts to think about what to add next.
