The "attitude problem" evident in the OpenBSD web page is >that many of the features seem to be described in terms of what the >NetBSD folks screwed up or are too lazy to do, but that he graciously >did correctly and quickly. This is what you are refering to? "Many many NetBSD PR's fixed (which NetBSD has not yet fixed)" Does it say that "NetBSD folks screwed up or are too lazy" ? No, it just say what it says! The other stuff is from the inside of your own head. What else would imply an "attitude problem"? I think you're biased... > Not to mention that one of the first things he bothers to mention >about his version is that it's "not political". Such statements made >so soon always sound political to me. Really? Why? You mean that if he said "not political" at a later time it wouldn't be political? What time frame are we talking about? All people show "attitude". What you put into *your* interpretation is only your and only your responsibility. Failing to realize that just causes you problems... Well it's not political, and what does that *really* mean? My choise to work with OpenBSD is not because i dislike anything. Reason is that i like the way things are provided and the support and help i get from Theo and the rest of the people working with it. Iv'e been pissed of by NetBSD people, so what! I helped them with stuff they asked for anyway. What would I gain from being rude. You know, one of the first thing that happened when i started to play around with NetBSD several years ago was that i was accused of having insulted people on the mailing list! And you know why? Because i told a story about how i did a port of NetBSD to my homebuilt Mips R3081 board! Get It!! So don't come here telling me about "attitudes".
