While I do not represent NetBSD, I sympathize with them in not wanting to pursue a greater level of cooperation with FreeBSD. I view Jordans response akin to "biting the hand that feeds". Is this how FreeBSD and Walnut Creek represent themselves to *all* their contributors? -- hpeyerl@novatel.ca | NovAtel Communications Ltd. hpeyerl@beer.org | <nothing I say matters anyway> On your birthday 10/02 322 BC: Aristotle dies of indigestion.
