[pp.int.general] O.T.: april 25: tribute to Emilio Salgari

[Richard Stallman]

    Salgari committed suicide by their relationship with their publishers
    and was one of the most important writers on pirates and privateers.

It is hard to understand what significance this has, with so little
info.  With more info we might be able to understand.

Did the publisher mistreat him?
Publishers often do that to writers.

What year was that (roughly)?
