I don't always agree with him, but he is a wonderful asset. Let's look at Terry like a researcher that we want to avoid having his experimental ideas in the tree. If his signal-to-noise ratio is slightly low, it doesn't mean that his contributions are faulty. I wish that we had a better support system for the likes of him, so that we can use his talents more effectively!!! -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
