They strike me as more of "here's the complete press release about something related to Linux, without a single word (either in the press release or from Jack) about how this relates to freebsd". I can imagine these messages could be intended to help freebsd advocacy in some way, if Jack would have at least mentioned a connection, so the messages did not irritate me the way they seemed to have irritated Jordan. Still, I do not see freebsd advocacy as a place for people to copy complete press releases about every operating system EXCEPT FreeBSD, in some imagined effort to "encourage" us to write stuff about freebsd. Similarly, I do not expect freebsd-current to contain a million answers to programming questions about WindowsNT, under the guise of "encouraging" us to write more programs for FreeBSD. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
