Maybe you're answering in automatic mode??

Just because I mentioned the terms "Geo" and "DRM" in
the same message does not mean I am supporting all or any of Geo's
assertions re DRM.

In fact, I was pointing out that trusted computing is capable of good
things, and I predict that with the rising sophistication of malware,
companies really will need trusted computing systems for their laptops if
the laptops are allowed to connect to the normal company network.

I claim that the same features of trusted computing that provide the
benefit of secure remote access are also capable of providing DRM. I am not
commenting on whether that is good or bad.

I would appreciate a clear correction if I have made a mistake in the above
(i.e. which words are wrong, and briefly why).

I understand that.

That's an issue for another thread, IMHO.
