I do what I can do well, and try to stay out of the way of those who are good at what they do. For example, my time is best spent working on kernel internals and not userland stuff, not X windows, not compilers or not marketing/sales... If JKH and crew need more help with marketing, and there are those who have the ability to help with it, I suppose that such help would not be rejected. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
