According to a recent article by Dan Gillmor at http://www.sjmercury.com/columnists/gillmor/docs/dg073198.htm (See the bit at the bottom), Microsoft's PR agency assigns an "owner" to every article it perceives as negative. This person is responsible for contacting the author and doing MS evangelism. Perhaps it's time to fight fire with fire, doing this for both Microsoft AND Linux. Every time an article mentions Linux and not FreeBSD, or mentions problems with NT, the author should be contacted with an admonishment to try FreeBSD. On the other hand, authors who DO mention FreeBSD should be encouraged to do more of it. The effort could be organized through this list. How about it? --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
