Is this a technical list, or a semantic forum? do one's _opinions_ on the matters of good or bad business belong on this list? surely we have a freebsd-opinions@freebsd.org going somewhere. and the cute little 'judge not lest ye be judged' is a fine way to live. i'm just asking if all the non-technical responses need to be mailed out to everyone on the list. My box is getting full. Thanks for your consideration.

The may be true so far as it goes, Dennis, but anything that hurts business is not automatically bad, not if the business involved is performing (or allowing to be performed) acts generally deemed by the public to be anti-social or inimical to human society. It's a gray area, given, but your response makes me feel your position is "if it hurts business, it's bad" and I thoroughly disagree. It's ridiculously easy to find examples of this. Don't use a broad brush, then ... if you disagree with something, either be specific or be painted as evil yourself. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic and jaunt, both FreeBSD-current.
