  	   An excellent example of this is honeyman's claim that we had
  	   ignored a large number of bug reports from Jim Rees at CITI.
  	   peter admitted that this was not the case, but he didn't
  	   stop flaming us; he just moved on to other issues.  It's hard
  	   to see how we could have walked away without addressing his
  	   initial issue, or how our wholly factual discussion of that
  	   matter was improper or "slimy".

tls, what's slimy here is your alteration of the content and meaning
of my notes.  to reiterate: the netbsd cabal ignored our bug reports,
while the openbsd developers acted on them.  facts, man, facts.

what i "admitted" was that in our efforts to help you folks out, we 
failed to fill out the proper forms.  believe me, we won't make that
mistake again.
