You seem to be doing a first class job of exactly this, all on your own.

As a bemused bystander avidly reading this newsgroup to glean useful
information on 386bsd, I'm getting a bit tired of your attempts to
conduct a farcical "trial by the media" type of circus.
I'm sure the courtroom is the appropriate place for all of this.
Why can't you let the rest of us get back to the much more productive
and enjoyable task of installing and enhancing 386bsd on our PC's.

If you feel so strongly that you are right and everyone else is wrong,
why not offer your services to USL's lawyers.  They'll probably pay you
quite a big fee for being able, so convincingly, to win their case
for them.

Meanwhile, I'm going looking for an earthy sea wizard, who can do at least
thirty million instructions by Thursday night whilst jousting with a black
heterosexual catholic female and someone who leaves emacs coredumps in
rather odd places, whilst hacking the code of a very strange country
dwelling OZ wombat.

Keep up the excellent work, Bill & Lynne (at least I can spell it) Jolitz
(and that one too) and all the other marvellous people who have freely
given so much of their time in making 386bsd the superb PC computing
environment that it is.  I really appreciate the service you give.

>are there any other key points that need to be clearified before we proceed?
No, I think it's about as "clearified" as it's going to get, so it seems :-)
