As if technological senility sets in by the time you're 25. Then I see pictures of the core team and other well- known members of the FreeBSD community and get confused. Then I see all the young faces of the various groups in my area and begin to feel old and even more confused. Does anyone really know the average age of the core team and said peripheral contributors? I know the age thing has been hashed endlessly, but each time the question has never really been answered IMO. -- dpilgrim@uswest.net /\ / __ Our lies are merely the gryph@mindless.com / \/OC/URNE truth of another world ICQ: 29880099 Death is not a kill -9, just a DALnet: anim0s make world and shutdown -r now PGPKey available To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
