And as the party says about Free Software, that too went wrong;-) . He actually dont deserve this much attention. But, Only if it gets a chorus that we need to reply publicly. Otherwise we would be giving them an undeserved publicity. On the otherside, its good and instinctual(;-)) to call the editor of the paper to tell him, how pity a figure the paper cuts by itself!, assuming that those are in a position of just being ignorant and would like to learn if we provide the facts!
