All I have read can be reduced to "I don't like someone rebutting that article", even those who state to the contrary. One guy accused you of personal attacks just because you said the author engaged in those, even though that's the only thing in the whole article that can be construed as personal (besides being subjective, I think by and large the BSD camp took that first article as a personal attack -- and, frankly, it could not be construed in another way, IMHO). Other guy, still upset at MS loss in court, dismissed all your points as "opinion", and, , said there is no place in ZDNet for such! Well, as if ZDNet had anything else, but the press *is* a place for opinions. Frankly, you should worry if someone makes a _good_ case against your article, instead of simply disliking it's existance (for reasons they prefer to keep secret). -- Daniel C.
