Huh?

I just went back through the archives and couldn't find any reference
like that.  Do you have a link to the thread or was it a private email?  

The closest I saw was this exchange where you wrote:
 "This is the more general project that has emerged from my initial idea 
 for Darwine, namely X86/Linux binary compatibility for OS X. "

Mike replied:
 "Hmm, what is that useful for? Nearly all software for Linux is open 
 source and can be ported or sometimes simply recompiled for any given 
 platform."

That wasn't speaking about Wine.
