Whether you agree with him or not, and I happen to on many of the issues he has raised, he doesn't deserve the treatment which he has received. A quick check of the public forums will reveal that he always has been a staunch supporter of both the Berkeley License and FreeBSD, and he has argued his case by and large with very little support from members of these lists. Yet let him raise some questions, on these lists and all is forgotten in the rush to rain fire and brimstone upon him. I for one think that the guy deserves better. But then again we seem to be peas in pod on this. Now I have to go learn to write some C code. -- --Frank "At no time is the freedom of speech more precious then when a man hits his thumb with a hammer." --Marshall Lumsden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
