Likely same techniques whether promoting BSD or sewage pumps. Post to a shoe designers forum, not advocacy@, to discuss comfortable style of shoe to walk round a computer district of cities in, while advocating bookshops should stock & sell BSD cdroms. Comfortable web pages & comfortable shoes are the medium, not the message. Prating with web sites & debating about web style among the already BSD- converted is hot air. For advocacy@ Better discuss eg how to find a BSD stand sponsor, fund, print & distribute BSD flyers. Get a BSD talk inserted in a tech seminar. Seek an opening to do a BSD presentation to companies... [see next post] - Julian Stacey Net & Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Mail in Ascii (Html=Spam).
