   Perhaps I'm mistaken, but these statements seem to show a bit of an
attitude.  The "attitude problem" evident in the OpenBSD web page is
that many of the features seem to be described in terms of what the
NetBSD folks screwed up or are too lazy to do, but that he graciously
did correctly and quickly.
   Not to mention that one of the first things he bothers to mention
about his version is that it's "not political".  Such statements made
so soon always sound political to me.
