John, I can understand your anger but, really, it is not worth it. You should know that asking for a public apology won't probably be answered but realize that WHATEVER THE OUTCOME of the flame war, everyone will be losing (by eveyone I mean the entire free UNIXes community) credit in the eyes of potential "converts". Most people won't care about how many usec each system would take to do anything, they'll just see that the two community are just flinging bad words at each others. NO FLAME WAR is worth that, John. Yes, I know Linus is young. Yes, I know he has a big head (I've met and discussed with him so I hope nobody will say that I'm too biaised), probably too big. So what ? I just hope things are not too far... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #15: Sun Jul 14 17:33:54 MET DST 1996
