I think that Jordan, and some others on this list, have in fact been the ones who have descended into meanness. He, and one or two other vitriolic posters, essentially told me that my efforts at advocacy were unwelcome, while Jordan at the same time was undermining FreeBSD as mentioned in an earlier message. They also failed to recognize the success of the efforts I DID make at advocacy. Besides starting one user group and morphing a Linux users' group into a UNIX users' group that included FreeBSD, I also provided the information which resulted in the following VERY POSITIVE article: http://www.zdnet.com/sr/stories/column/0,4712,398025,00.html --Brett Glass "For every action there is an equal and opposite government program." --Bob Wells To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
