I read the letter that was sent to -chat. It came from the "Hermit Hacker" in the headers and said something about Marc Fournier at the bottom. I did not know you were the same person. I thought you "Mr. Hermit" had grabbed something written by "Marc Fournier" from Slashdot. I thought that the email was taken from Slashdot and was the full content of the topic at hand. You are correct. My message addressed the comments in the email only and not the URL. I wish I still had your original message so I could see where I came by the above conclusions. I have rarely been anything but gentile on these lists. I am really pretty offended by your retort. I did not insult you are call you names or use invective (spewing, spouting, really?) to criticize your tone. I addressed the positions taken in the email message. I will not be lambasted for expressing my geniune opinion on the matter at hand. I would also like to add that "miscommunications" are as common on the internet as "communications". I think that this exchange counts as the latter case. Now back to the point already in progress... I have commonly gone on record here regarding the "Linux is doing this. What are we going to do about it?" line of discussion. I have been consistent in stating the FreeBSD does a good job at doing that which FreeBSD does regardless of the Linux path. This is something I feel _genuinely_. FreeBSD is truly an excellent product. It is excellent because the -core has a vision and sticks to it. I feel that they have their eye on the horizon and not on the nearby waves. I try to "speak" on behalf of this when the opportunity arises so that people can "hear" an alternate view and perhaps conclude that, "Yeah, FreeBSD is good stuff and will continue to be good stuff and Linux success will not capsize our efforts." To make an allegory to FreeBSD/Linux. I can't understand why people are so envious about the favor that Able brings by his efforts. Shall we engage ourselves in Cain's folly?
