Re: Subject: SHARED LIBRARIES - THE END
Before starting, I will say that I will limit my remarks as
best I can. Second, I did not see this *mess* till today and
only because I needed to move ahead on my projects.
Right now, I am at least 12 days behind the development
conversations, not to mention "past ideas" that need to be
brought to the foreground again.
In summary, I am doing this because I felt obligated by the
circumstances, not only because of fires set in my direction,
but because I can see no reason for some "idiots" to exists.
My opinion presonal and to it.

Pete,
I beg you to reconsider you position. I can only
assume that you are doing this out of love for programming,
not for economic reasons. With this in mind, I can say that
flames will follow, now, to me; but no matter, this is more
important.
I can not give you reasons to continue, except that
myself, as well as others, seem to be being inundated by some
group or force that is attempting to dismantle 386bsd.
Have at it boys. The numbers are with us and attempts
to stop a rightful engineering project like this is a good
form of suicide. BE TO IT, DO IT.
Make your attempts now, you who consider this path of
malcontent. The numbers will continue and with this prospect
I can only say, the days are numbered. Enjoy them while you
can.
