It's still not the correct metric to use since someone else might feel differently about who or what is getting the press. We need to keep an eye on what the others are doing, sure, but the lion's share of this list's bandwidth and energy has been historically taken up by people gritching non-stop about what Linux is doing about yadda yadda yadda and that's just not productive. That's getting lost focusing on the Alligators and forgetting all about the objective to drain the swamp - an understandable human tendency, to be sure, but also a great way of getting absolutely nothing done for a long time. Almost every time I see any amount of energy collecting in this group, it seems that somebody shorts it to ground by starting the "Why is Linux doing this and us not?!" argument all over again. It's not focusing on the solution, it's focusing on the problem. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
