Uhum... You know, I am not challenging you, but if you (or anybody) could 
give me a list of intellectualists (names, specialty area, you got the 
idea), whom I am to blame... And if you don't mind, for what exactly?

The longer such a list, the more interesting from my point of view. Give 
me those names, I beg you.

Otherwise, it is encouraging my suspicion, that this "blame the stupid 
intellectuals/scientists/hackers/all-the-wiser-folk" story is just pure 
manipulation by someone who is trying to cover his/their trails.

Anybody? You can't imagine how happy I will be. Really. You can (kind of) 
make my day brighter.

Tomasz Rola
