>(Hi Damian!)
As much irrelevant to the subject as your Steven's reply :), but the
reason why i've joined the FreeBSD group has been that back in that
old days, Chris Kukulies asked me to make my floppy formatter go into
their code base... guess what, half a year later, i suddenly (and
surprisingly, from my point of view) got commit privileges, and what
should i say, meanwhile i've been invited into the core
group... career? :-)
