[OT] - April 21, 2010 = Centenial of Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemen's death

[David Hardy]

*I respect your choices, md.  I'll agree with Sam Clemens.  But not Lincoln.
 Instead of him, and even though I'm a native New Englander with ancestry
back to the Mayflower and beyond, to the Wampanoag and Nipmuc, I will pick
General Robert E. Lee.  I have my reasons, though not a topic for this list.
 And no movies stars nor athletes here, either.  Cheers.*

***P.S.  I think that Lee would have chosen Linux long, long before
Gettysburg and Appomattox and it would have given him a decisive edge.
