Though having done just what you complain about, and more recently, probably offended the list for jumping on Dan Morales, I would also like to see this stop as well as leaving Linux alone. I'm getting tired of using the "d" button on pine. Which I do when seeing "linux" or "Microsoft" in the subject line - mostly. I will feel more comfortable with a little more experience in actually producing real "advocacy" as Jordan has been calling for. I am using my home and some friends in a PAC (sorry, Jason -- and NO, it has nothing to do with computers, even ;-)) as models for applying FreeBSD applications in a small non-unix aware environment. When this works, then my contributions can be more meaningful. John On Wed, 13 May 1998, Ted Stein wrote: > Is this a list for FreeBSD advocacy suggestions, or a place to bash > Microsoft?
