An excellent example thank you Theo.  Perhaps you arrived at this all on
your own, but I did not.  And without some form of communication from
Sendmail what would you expect me to think?

Remembering here that last time I checked, if you put the Apache
Software Foundation next to Sendmail Inc. you would not be hard pressed
to find the differences in motivation.
