And exactly what kind of test would this be? To see if cgd is going to allow a flame war to consume .announce as well as c.u.bsd and the other c.os.386bsd.* groups? IMHO, it's rejection would have been appropriate. Aside from Chris's NetBSD affiliation and a possible distaste for the Intel / PC architecture, what exactly is the problem? I suppose we're supposed to vote to throw out a member of the NetBSD group and put in someone from the FreeBSD group? Different pot, still black. Anyone who takes that job will have to make a stand one way or the other, even if they're not developing code they'll likely be running one OR the other on the box they moderate from. While I'm on it, can anyone give a sample of what has been submitted to Chris and rejected for posting to .announce? I'd like to see exactly what I'm missing. .misc isn't moderated, so just post it there and we'll all see what a gosh awful moderator that Chris is. now watch: jmonroy will post some wild crap that cgd rejected and we can all praise Chris for making it a tad bit easier on our KILL files ;-) Glen Overby speaking for myself; not the Company, nor anyone else.
