There are two things about this thread: (1) bsdguru@aol.com may or may not be a "BSD Guru". I don't know, nor do I care and I don't see why *anybody* should really care. Was there really a need to point out the humor in this address on the mailing list? The person who did this must have known it was going to start something. Why do you want to see his resume? Are you interested in working for him? (By the way, I doubt he would want to work for you given your attitude.) (2) Not all BSD users are addicted to BSD like crack. So he uses AOL, so he uses Windows. Is there really a need to keep pointing it out over and over again? Now, not wanting to start a flamewar, BSD isn't the best solution for everybody on their desktop. Maybe it *can* do the same things Windows does, with tweaking. See archives of pretty much any BSD-related mailing list for the same discussion over and over. Do we have to have it again? Let's stop now. Thanks. -pete ++ 29/05/01 11:11 -0400 - Bsdguru@aol.com: | In a message dated 05/29/2001 8:31:12 AM Eastern Daylight Time, bill@wjv.com | writes: | | > > Don't you know he's a helpful asset on isp@ ?
