Now now, let's keep our facts straight.  If you read my post again you'll
see that I didn't threaten to sue McWilliams unless he says its
not crap, I said that if I found out he was maligning us as part of
a larger agenda I would.  I also asked for a retraction, but hardly
made that a condition pertaining to the above.  Some of us are now
making our livelyhoods out of this project and our reputation DOES
matter in a very real business sense.  I'm not doing any more or
less than any business would in protecting its reputation, and
FreeBSD, Inc. does indeed exist as a business.

I hope this makes it clearer.
