I said: In the past, Bill's releases have been very compliant with *BSD style and flavor. Please note that I said "In the past". Ok, noted. Then why, in the same paragraph, did you also encourage people to go to 386BSD 1.0 *NOW* to enjoy this same degree of "*BSD style and flavor"? Because it wouldn't have sounded quite so attractive if you'd said: In the past, Bill's releases have been very compliant with *BSD style and flavor. This may not be the case any longer, and it's very possible that 386BSD now represents an entirely mutant strain of UN*X, sort of like that "outer limits" episode where this *brain*, like grows in this beaker in some lab and like, escapes and then the national guard is called out but it's like too strong so they shoot it and shoot it but it won't die and it eats a bunch of them and then the original scientist invents, like, this gas that makes the brain stupid and it eats itself instead and there's like just this greasy spot left. that was cool. huh huh.. Oh, anyway, I still urge you to go with Bill's code for nostalgia's sake and also it will make both of us feel better. Thank you. Face it, Jesus - you're just as much of a snake-oil salesman as the folks who try to sell you cheap home security devices on T.V.! The least you could do is admit it and stop hiding behind this cheeseball "defender of the programming faith" posture! Jordan
