A trustworthy source, indeed. interesting word, there, trustworthy. i just read niklas' note, in which he describes how his trust in netbsd developers was shaken to the core by their wanton vandalism. i guess i've said once too often that our attempts to help out by identifying, fixing, and reporting netbsd bugs fell on deaf ears because we failed to fill out the proper forms. but just once more, and this time with feeling: we won't make that mistake again. peter ps: i know my little joke is getting tired, but i'm waiting for them to "get it."
