I'm not really going to write about AT&T vs. BSDI etc. at all. Anyway to get to my point, Karl Lehenbauer signed article 3054 with a slogan of Adolph Hitler: "What luck for rulers that men do not think". First Mr. Lehenbauer, please keep in mind that the person who wrote that slogan did not only write it, he exploited it to the most disastrous extent that anybody has ever done in the *ENTIRE* histrory of mankind. I also suggest that you should think next time who are the potential readers of the material you submit to the net and wheather you might just accidently offend them. Furthermore there are saying by people who are controversial and for the sanity of all of us keep in mind that comp.unix.bsd is here to let us discuss bsd issues and there are several other list that are more proper for such saying and the debate over them. One last word about the connection of that saying to the AT&T vs. BSDI debate, AT&T are *not* the rulers and BSDI are *not* the people. This debate is between two companies that one of their goal is to gain profits where the first believs that the latter is exploiting its intelectual property. If you *must* use a slogan please use one that is fit for the issue being discussed! Shame on you for your lack of sesitivity to other peoples feelings! Allon.
