           from the now-that-would-be-something dept.
           According to MartinG, Alan has posted to the LKML
           and said "Im insulted that anyone believes I would
           continue working for RH if aol/time warner owned
           them. " This of course refers to the Red Hat/AOL Buyout Rumors 
that we
           have been talking about all weekend.

   (Toldja so.)
