    Hi, Richard:  I like that!  Especially the phrase, "The value of free 
    software is free speech."

I think you have in mind what I said about the meaning of "free" in
"free software".  It's the same as the meaning of "free" in "free
speech".

If you say "the value of free software", that tends to mean other
things, such as "the advantages of" or "the importance of".

Hi, Heather:  Well, that's amazing arrogance, isn't it?  They support some 
generic keywords designed to cover the spectrum, then restrict their giving, 
not by specifying the list of organizations they give to, but by having 
people submit requests and be humiliated.  Puts them right up there with 
Barnes & Noble.  Add my name to the list of folks no longer doing business 
with Target!
Love,
Dad

Tom and Heather,

I thought the Vietnam Wall was partially for education. At our Wal-Marts, 
they 
have a mini version of the Wall that they tour around to educate people about 
what it was like in the war.

I guess if they're not within Target's "area of giving", maybe all concerned 
parties should not consider Target within their personal "area of giving". :)

Alex
