Could you STOP announcing your vaporware on this list? Your p browser
is NOT part of Opensolaris. I am getting disgusted by our flood of My
Schily Tools Are Better Then All Other Things SPAM.
Up to date your ONLY contributions to Opensolaris.org are the
discussions about CDDE vs GPL which always quickly erupt into flame
wars, why Star is not yet added and why Sun tar is bad and your
pissing on Roland's ksh93, either directly or behind his back in other
mailing lists or blog comments.
Either participate with constructive comments or stay silent.
Cheers,
William
