The only people I seem to have offended were those whose toes I've stepped on unknowingly -- or people who identify anyone with whom they do not agree as an enemy. I don't know if it's possible to avoid those kinds of slights and still be able to take a stand about anything at all! >You're quite effective at marketing, Brett, but your history at inspiring >both love and hate has swung just a little too far in each direction That's the problem. In my experience, whenever you embrace a strong viewpoint and sticks to yer guns, thems that loves ya will really loves ya, and thems that hates ya wills hates yer guts ferever. ;-) I didn't say that I wanted to be the spokesman -- just a coordinator and/or an active member/leader of one or more of the teams. I'd be glad to push toward the podium some spokesman other than me who seem to be able to turn away wrath more effectively. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
