Your issue with Mr. Lehey, is not an issue with me. Your opinion of Mr. Lehey, is yours; I may, or may not, agree. Currently, I'm the President of the SVBUG (Silicon Valley *BSD User Group). My job is promote ALL BSD's, including Apple's OS-X. In addition, I'm charged as a liason from our company to *BSD. Our company builds servers. However, right now we are in the middle of a reorganization. I can't show anything until about Dec. 14, 2000 (Streaming Media West starts). We build video server, rebroadcast servers, high-performance web servers and soon high-peformance webring servers. My job includes listening to many people. Many who don't have the time to read mail-lists, follow newsgroups or get on IRC. Many of these people are good people. Some of these people are really Linux Users, high in their community, but unwilling to get in our fray. These people are willing to listen and follow. These people tell me things; I report them to the *BSD-mailing-lists. I take your point (about M$/Intel) and appearances lead me to beleive you are correct. However, if you read between the lines, you'll see every response is now measured. Why? I burned much engery (in the early days) fighting with everyone in *BSD. Just ask Jordan. I would consel(sp?) you to do the same (measure your resonse). Sure you can fight, if you want. I'm not going to stop you or even complain. However, if your points are correct about *BSD, there are other means to about them. Means that will allow you to win, be the hero and come out ahead. This choice can only be made by you. best regards, Jessem. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
