That was not fight ;-) You need to know Theo or at least follow his posts for a longer time. He had right points in his reactions to me and I know it and respect it. I don't agree with everything, but that's purpose of debate. What's most important I don't think that OpenBSD will be such a superb piece of SW if Theo will be "sweet" against everyone :-) PS: When he said that I'm in good position to become lawyer I really started laughing a lot because it was used in a way that you must laugh if you're not focused too much on ego.
