Ron babe,

TNG fork was a preventable disaster. I think the problem is a lot of
us are sitting on our thumbs and letting Jeremy and the band pick
out all the problems for us. When schedules get too tight and there
are different priorities there's always a gang leader for a schism.
That it plays into the hands of the great Satan duplicating the
effort and splitting the community is a matter of grave concern for
all. M$ will underbid any serious attempt at a mass migration to open
source with hefty rebates, and there's little we can do against that
except strive to be a serious alternative and not a bunch of 
fundamentalists picking at articles of faith.

What's wrong about admitting that the u-g-o octals were too narrow a
view of security and accepting that a businessperson may be a 
visionary in her own right by just thinking a little out of *nix box?
For open source to have a chance, it needs to be ahead of the pack
and you can't do that before you catch up.

A little rant helps relieve the tension of an admin's day of work.

Bye now,
Dragan

Ah, OK. You're legit. I was probably not abrasive enough to
recruit your help. We're all tracking our own chymeras. But
whenever I feel I might know a little vaguely pertinent I 
try to respond. A false lead may sometimes be almost as 
good as a true one. If you're barking under a wrong tree
any hint is valuable. Good luck, ghost-buster!
