Andriy wasn't the one who wrote this. In fact, I'm not sure who the quote actually came from because I never received the Email it came from, but I'm under the impression it's from Vadim. My mail spool: $ grep "Old Good Things" Mail/freebsd/freebsd-stable > May be it's time to revert to some of thet Old Good Things, if decade-long >> May be it's time to revert to some of thet Old Good Things, if decade-long >>> May be it's time to revert to some of thet Old Good Things, if decade-long >> May be it's time to revert to some of thet Old Good Things, if decade-long The first mention of it was in an Email from Andriy, sent to Vadim, with Andriy quoting someone words (the first paragraph shown above). Strangely I can't find the mail on the official FreeBSD pipermail lists either. I'm staying out of the main discussion, but I'm just wanting to point out that Andriy did not write the above quote. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
