      Ok, now *I'm* sorry.  I didn't realize that writing code was a
   requirement to make an obversation.  Now I'm willing to take back that
   part about how you *appear* to have an attitude problem.

What I see is a person who I've never seen any *BSD involvement from
jumping into a newsgroup and flaming me for having a bad attitude.
What?  Did you ask NetBSD people "what is the deal", and get a "Theo
has a bad attitude" and simply turn that into your opinion?

Now.. even if I did have a bad attitude (and I do not think I do), I
have made lots of contributions.  And the formation of the OpenBSD
project was clearly and directly in response to a bad attitude shown
by NetBSD core towards people (not just me) who's contributions were
being ignored!  Like, good changes and additions people like you could
use!

Anyways, this discussion is off topic and largely irrelevant.  More to
the topic, I note that noone has said anything about my allegations
that NetBSD has a legally suspect source tree.

What, noone is willing to stand up and call me a liar?  I know NetBSD
core has seen and heard that I posted these allegations.

Of course, what I alleged is true -- illegal source was used NetBSD.
I was there.
