threats to your effort to change for the better.

While I understand the pure "netiquette" viewpoint and would tend to
believe that it would be best in an ideal world, this is not the ideal
world and I cannot agree with it. One cannot expect everyone to follow the

his job. SUN should have taken the Linux platform seriously from the
start and provided the porting team with early betas. They are in a war

Solaris but
