[vorbis] WSJ article

[Benjamin Flanders]

There is no need for apology.  I do tend to shoot off
e-mails based on my feelings when they really needn't
be sent.  Also, I am an idiot at times, so no hard
feelings.

Anyway, what I got from the article, was that maybe
Monty needed some help.  It got me thinking how I
could  help.  I know this isn't going to be the
reaction for the normal reader, but there might be
others that think as I do, and actually have the
skills to back it up.
