My predictions have been accurate in the past and are being fulfilled
here as well. And my efforts to date in the BSD world have been
quite effective. Therefore, I daresay I have quite a bit of currency.
Why are you attempting to undermine it?

Er, Jordan, *now* who's advocating being Quixotic? Such an effort 
requires a team, as I can't exactly afford to quit putting food on the 
table in order to do it alone. By arguing against the concept you are 
discouraging people from joining that effort and are thus sabotaging it 
and making it infeasible to undertake. Again, it appears that you are
trying to undermine my heretofore succesful fforts to promote the BSDs. 
Why?
