I don't think anyone would argue that John Dyson, while he might get a little steamed once in a while, was one of the cool heads around here, and just not given to completely losing his cool. By that, I mean to say that I don't think he's leaving in a huff, or anything like that. I doubt that he was pleased by that recent copyright stupidity, but I don't think that was his main motivation. If you grant that, then you have to respect the fact that John's doing what he says because he's given it a lot of thought and really thinks it's for the best. I wish like hell he wasn't going, but I respect his choice to do things his own way. If I thought he was doing it over a spur-of-the-moment anger, I could get behind an emotional appeal, but since I just don't believe that, I think this kind of thing is just going to make him feel bad. Let's NOT do that to him, it would just be very selfish of us all. We should just wish him the best, and be willing to have him back sometime in the future, if that ever becomes possible. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
