Advocacy hasn't really even formed > yet. Currently, it is merely a mailing list. I believe that advocacy consists of things like: "I use this ______ (fill in blank) and am very happy with it." "You really should take a look at _____. I think it might be just the thing to accomplish _______." "No, _____ *does* have that capability. You were misinformed.* "You can get further info on ______ at _____. And there is an excellent beginner's tutorial at ______. ______ is a very good book on _______." "I have been using ______ for a long time and would be happy to help you with this. I'm always glad to see someone else become interested in ______." ____________________________________________________ Most of the other things I see that are supposed to be "advocacy" are just poorly disguised name-calling. -- Stuart Krivis stuart@krivis.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
