I knew there were people inside since they even thanked FreeBSD in the
thank you list at mozilla.org but ill be honest, I didnt feel that would
do us much good when the suits higher up didn't really give a fig about
anyone but linux. Having been in a place where even if you have a better
solution or want to do things the right way, arguing with suits to the
point of hostility is futile :) So I figured roast em!
But if you think the pro-freebsd people at netscape can change their
attitude, then by all means I withdraw my roast the suits at the stake
comments. You know better than I what allies we have at netscape.
