Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear reader, I feel like the under-grad who opens his locker to find a note: "I have studied you from afar all this time..." only a little different. A few pointy-heads up in Canberra have been considering your moderator's continued existence. Consequentially I've been called on to justify labour and resources spent on all projects under my control, particularly those that can't easily be quantified such as IQ, BOS, LACC, IS, LEAKS and the various bits of security and other software you may have seen floating around the net with my name on it over the past few years. If you or your organisation have found one of these projects/services interesting, useful, or entertaining in some manner and would like to see them, and my management of them continue -and- have the courage, foresight, wit, intelligence and good-looks ;) needed to tell projects@suburbia.net this fact ASAP, I'd be pleased as punch. Cheers, Julian -- Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
