I believe the radical fringe might have its role but you've bent way beyond that to outright meanness. It's probably not even necessary for FreeBSD to command a large market share for it to be successful and to endure. I'm betting that it will though. In a user supported environment, like this one, it is very important that we treat each other with dignity and respect. Otherwise we might as well just concede to the unruly nature of the Linux mob you seem to dislike so much. Personally, I'm *glad* they exist. Jordan, I deeply appreciate your efforts and dedication to this project. I believe that you've shown great leadership and although I may disagree with some of your positions I have great respect for your accomplishments. It's amazing to me that you've been able to sustain your energy level all these years. I believe that your tactic of "walking softly and carrying a big stick" is right on. Can't we all just get along? (Sorry Rodney) Cheers, Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
