I've been working on a "how to be an advocate" site.  Right now
its REALLY rough (definitly incomplete, possibly wrong, certain to 
have errors, etc...).  Anyway, in it I try to get across some of 
the points that I feel should be exemplified by *BSD advocates
(and others to, but I don't care as much there :).  Basically
a set of guidelines for new advocates so that they can have some
direction.  Rev 0.01 was written on a slightly different 
focus, but as it expands I hope to make it something usefull.  
Rev 0.01 is online at: http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/advocate/
If anyone has points to add, send em, if anyone has criticisms
to make... well I'm sure you will :)

 NT is an excellent choice for managers who need to show that they used 
 up their fiscal year budget for hardware/software expenditures.
