Again your taking it as a personal attack. Erm, this is something of a conflicting statement. How could "pissing on the flag", as you put it, fail to do anything other than raise people's blood pressure? All that proves to me is that pissing on flags is not the proper way to win friends and influence people and, as a mode of self expression, leaves much to be desired. > WOW!!!!!

If you had the drive and inclination to finish whatever forms of advocacy you started, they'd be finished now and blaming others for "not helping you enough" is just a bald attempt at shifting the blame for inaction somewhere else. I said it quite clearly several exchanges back: You don't need anyone's help to write a magazine article or do promotion. It's nice when you can get 5 or so people together for a group effort, sure, but waiting to find those 5 people before doing anything at all is just a great way of accomplishing nothing. > Talk about flakes. ;-) Further, I am aware of more than one plan that I > presented to advocacy and for one reason or another they didn't get off > the ground. So what the fsck are you referring to? You are the pilot in charge. If your plane doesn't leave the ground, it's your responsibility to figure out why and fix it. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
