Does any intellectual presentation less than three months old have no relevance? What a short attention span, so sad... If it's tired, pray tell, why so? How about dealing with the content of Russell's argument rather than side-stepping it with personal attack? You may indeed have a sound rebuttal to everything Russell said. If so, bring it forward. Again, if necessary. >Almost word for word! >Right down to the suggestion at the end that John should work on Linux >instead!

Prove that it's stale. Explain how Russell wasn't right a year ago. Dredge up your original answer from the archives if it'll help. Demonstrate that you can deal with opposition without resorting to whining about when you first encountered the dissent. Or did you evade the issue last year too? >- Jordan Hubbard > President, FreeBSD Project -- Evan Leibovitch, Sound Software Ltd, located in beautiful Brampton, Ontario Supporting PC-based Unix since 1985 / Caldera & SCO authorized / www.telly.org Trains stop at train stations.
