I do. So stop saying that nobody cares. When linux and 386bsd was just

The revolution is in the built-in book on internals of BSD.

stable *BSD and Linux, not that I'm against any of these groups.
	Whatever weakness the Jolitzes had, it is their right to pursue it
the way they want it to.

Don't try to speak on behalf of other people. Futhermore, loundness does not
always mean popularity and rightness.
