That is your manifesto. FreeBSD is more dependant of its users than its users are of FreeBSD. FreeBSD needs to live.

FreeBSD is for man kind by man kind. FreeBSD is for rich, spoiled people by rich, spoiled people. The same way FreeBSD is for oppressed people, by oppressed people. All people. We users (those of us who represent the next generation) are the ones that'll eventually be put in charge of the project after our current leaders retire or die. I also agree with you that most BSD people need a change of attitude. 30% of all e-mails are more rude than even people with intentions to kill would utter before killing. -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Enlightened @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf --=20 ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
