Very classy. From the archives I see that you make quite a habit of it. You must be quite an important fellow (or do you have pictures of jordan with barnyard animals?). And obviously not very good at making valid arguments if you have to resort to such. Congrats on snipping out my comments, which you continue to fail to absorb. My point was that they got no RESULTS. Just as they spent millions advertising their OS, their dollars didnt translate into results because they are clueless marketeers. "Funding" is nice, but noone call look at the "BSDI era" and say "Gee, they really made an impact". All I said is that I wasnt surprised. Its their history. FreeBSD has never been further behind linux in the public relations mix, and the gap is widening, even though its a better product. Clearly this is a sore spot for you and you are incapable of being objective, so I'll just leave it at that.
