I don't remember seeing his name since I switched from Usenet (including gnu.misc.discuss) to freebsd.org 18 months ago and I had forgotten about him. I had saved one message in which he flamed "GPV" (General Public Virus, ha ha) and listed many ways to combat it. One item was especially notable: 5) Accept working GPLed code as a gift, and thank those who have worked on it (even the GPL religious.) Those people have spent time on that work, and no matter their politics, are valuable human beings. Your diagnosis of FreeBSD marketing/change/Brett/etc was interesting and I agree fully (to the extent I understand "emergent properties" :).
