Fun doesn't exclude competing. Working on a good product or enhancing one
makes much more fun than being a monopoly (don't take this personally as
you did before - monopoly as a counterpart to the - non existing -
competition).

Did I say so? No.

I'll never call it closed again, if you can show me a place where everyone
is free to ftp a recent developer tree from. You probably cannot. And to
quote from a message on freebsd-isdn:

This doesn't sound like a happy developer who needs to "take the freedom"
to post a small diff.

I don't doubt this.

So, I wrote a hypergalactic new driver, but - surprise - something changed
during the last months and I've done almost the whole work for nothing.
Maybe I have to completely rewrite my driver which could have been avoided
by simply making snapshots available.
