No, he *did not*. Not on the archived mails on his web page, and not on these lists. Point out one single quote where he acknowledges Bill may have made a contribution to freebsd-java, or that he may have been mistaken in ignoring him. His latest long mail is an exercise in saying why it's ok to react as he did, because he's never heard of Bill. As others have pointed out, if he'd bothered to hang around the freebsd-java list for a couple of days, he'd have heard of Bill. Absolutely the only "mea culpa" jdp issues for the whole episode is for the title he used on his webpage. I don't totally blame him for his initial reaction, since he's in a volunteer position, he must have been freaked by Bill's mails, and Bill is way too foul-mouthed for normal people. But jdp is not close to even acknowledging Bill's contribution, let alone that it was a mistake not consulting him. - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
