It's hard to see how we could have walked away without addressing his initial issue, or how our wholly factual discussion of that matter was improper or "slimy". tls, what's slimy here is your alteration of the content and meaning of my notes. to reiterate: the netbsd cabal ignored our bug reports, while the openbsd developers acted on them. facts, man, facts. what i "admitted" was that in our efforts to help you folks out, we failed to fill out the proper forms. believe me, we won't make that mistake again. peter
