I wasn’t Henning’s roommate, “live” with a long vowel means simply that I know 
him face to face for several days straight, sorry for the ambiguity of our 
English language - you can blame our mother.

Life is full of unpredictable twists and turns. I’ve had more than my share of 
them as of late. But you are probably right - if I’d spend more time trying to 
get a business off the ground and less time, for example, on this mailing list 
(which is, coincidentally, a very small portion of my time), then I might be in 
a position to actually make enough money that I could donate something 
something deemed significant.  Of course, the same applies to you.

Logic 101? Do you own a business? Do you make monthly purchasing
decisions for one? Come on, what logic is this? What do you know about it?

Your constant rambling about costs being detailed and justified (and
how that is apparently not being done) is unnerving at best.

In any event, if you were paying attention, it was detailed and justified
about 10 different ways from Sunday in this thread. I suspect $1500 per
month is a drop in the bucket for some of the larger entities that make
extensive use of OpenBSD. No bureaucratic forms filled in triplicate, no
dick sucking, no constant justification, no whining, and no more replies
to this thread. There is a flare-up and we're going to unlock the medicated
pads from JP Morgan Chase!!!

My business makes extensive use of OpenBSD and I'm about to make
a $100 monthly pledge. I'm so sick of the asshole comments in this
thread, I'll take it out of my own pocket should my business be
unable to.

Mike, maybe you can stop your rambling, and just do the same. Because 
otherwise, I don't understand why you feel justified to be on this mailing
list. You were henning's roommate, so that means that you know all about
OpenBSD, programming, commputers, business, Logic 101, and how Theo is not a
businessman? And you have the real solution, right? You can tell everyone how
to make it work?

I'm going to tell you that I probably do know a very little bit about these
things, and even better...get this, MikeI HAVE A SOLUTION.

Please, donate with a subscription, tell everyone how to join you in
doing it, or, fuck yourself. 

I don't want Theo to have to worry about power.

Maybe 14 other business owners in my position can do the same?

Is anyone with me here?

There is this cool web site that automates the process:
