I actually made detailed replies to each of your points individually but trashed them when I realized they could all be simplified into one: You are a troll and a cluebie. Having said that, post-WC BSDi funded and supported more things then you obviously are aware of. You may want to do a little more research until you accuse them of being anything but positive for the project. For every point you just accused them of being absent and non-beneficial I can name multiple major contributions they funded, supported with people, or flat out donated. -- Bill Fumerola / billf@FreeBSD.org ps. at least they didn't IPO and lose so much money on hype that they were sued. pps. I never worked for: Walnut Creek CDROM, BSDi, or WindRiver. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
