What is incorrect, Julian? I interviewed both Kirk McK and Berkeley's chief legal beagle several years ago. If I'm incorrect, I'd prefer to get it right. I even bought Kirk's video after a FBSD convention a long time back. He was drinking beer by the pitcher, so I'm sure he was more forthcoming than usual. I also was the one who orchestrated the Darwin press release when working as a stringer with Bob Bruce's WC-CDROM, so I do have a little history here. On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 12:08 PM, Julian H.
