Sometimes informative, sometimes entertaining, sometimes a little too obvous trolling. I think theres only one fault with Terry :) (forgive me Terry, because I've learned a lot from you). And that problem is that he has to say something about everything :) Many peopleon #bsdcode have come to Terry's defense. > Terry may not be > perfect, but he has *never* insulted anyone, he's a nice person to talk to, > and pretty often comes up with nice ideas. Yep. > I'm talking to you, fucking Hiten Pandya, damned asshole. Hiten is young, he'll learn, since when does Hiten have any say in the direction of FreeBSD as a whole? > And I'm talking to you, stupid Alfred Perlstein. > Alfred is an interesting person.

As someone who has known Alfred a long time, yes, he can be an asshole, he also does a hell of a lot of work, is willing to do "grunt" work, and while these aren;t huge projects, he's filled in where needed. That says so much more for his willingness to actually do something to advance the project as a whole. > > Matthew Dillon is one of the few hackers worth his salt, what does he get in > return?

The commit bit thing has been going on ever since I can remember. If Matt wanted to leave, he would have done so long ago. One of the reasons I admire Matt so much is because he keeps going despite the politics. > > To the rest of the people, jump shit now, and join NetBSD while you can. > FreeBSD is not worth the hassle. > TIme for you to jump ship or show yourself for who you are, instead of being a coward and hiding behind a hotmail address. -Trish -- Trish Lynch trish@bsdunix.net FreeBSD The Power to Serve Ecartis Core Team trish@listmistress.org http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
