Apologies to all the folks that read c.0.3.d for serious reasons,
but I'm not just going to sit and let Jesus off the hook...

Now, now - as soon as we start loosing, we get into name 
calling. Tsk, tsk...

Nobody thought anything of Bill.

My beef with you started when this guy asked what OS he should
run on his PC, in order to connect via slip/ppp to his office
computer. It was a simple FreeBSD vs. NetBSD opinion question.

*You* told him to wait unitl 386BSD1.0 came out... (and probably
cross posted your answer).

The way I see it, with that post you:
-were implying that the OS's we run are crap, compared to
386BSD. 
-were *telling* people to run (or wait to run) an unfinished
OS that might or might not be bug free.

Furthermore, the announcements that you cross post to half the
world, give the impression that besides 386BSD
there is no other good alternative. At least you could be 
a bit more impartial, and acknowledge other people's work.

And to top it all off, *none* of your posts have any content.
Well except for the one, in which you stated that you are
the floppy expert, and explained the ST0 70 error message.

cheers and enjoy the weekend (oops! I meant typing in responses)

P.S One request to you. Let's move this flamefest to e-mail...
After all this is a development group and we should not bore
folks!
