It wasn't a "defense;" it was a rejoinder. Bill was hurling a
gratuitous insult.

You seemed to like the idea of starting a BSD track at the O'Reilly
conference -- after I did it on my own initiative.

Now YOU are hurling insults.

Jordan, while you seem to be good at doing releases and organizing
development, you have not done well at promoting the platform. In 
fact, you seem to be allergic to serious advocacy and highly 
resistant to new ideas (none of mine have been anywhere near as 
wild as you imply above). Perhaps you should learn to recognize 
YOUR limitations.
