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.
