It'd certainly help to quote them there. No, I've never quoted hard numbers. I think doing so, as a contractor for WC CDROM, would be unethical and possibly illegal. I think it would be best to drop this type of 'attack' against the Stallmanites as it will only serve to further polarize people against us and I definately DON'T want that to happen. We should be extending welcoming hands to the Linux people and working on converting them to FreeBSD, not alienating them with this sort of rhetoric. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
