No, it's community infighting because one of its members apparently
thinks it's productive. You're making a much better case for your
removal from the list than Jim in my estimation.

So might I ask when you'll have your own plan 9 site up? As near as I
can tell, your plan 9 website has been down for an infinite amount of
time.
Don't bother trying to pull me into a flame war, by the way. I'm not
wasting my time with further replies to you.

I think that Jim Choate would take exception to being labeled part of
the 9fans community. He's tried *very* hard to distance himself from
that community.

How's that? Because I object to the ramblings of an obvious polemist?
Look, you said you're relatively new to the list. May I suggest you
look at the archives before interjecting yourself into an argument
involving Choate?

I'm writing this under Plan 9 right now. I wasn't aware that ``web sites''
were the only function of the system.

Yep, and it isn't 'my site' (my site is SSZ and it also runs off Linux).
OS bigots we are not. I suspect we've got about a dozen OS'es cranked up
right now on various machines.

Actually it does, once you get over your hurt feelings.

Dan, you're a putz and a perfect example of the problem with this end of
the community.

Okay, Jim, I'll throw you an olive branch.
We all know what you find wrong with, ``this end of the community.''
You've stated that pretty clearly. But what I don't understand is what
you'd like to see this end of the community turn into? Could you
please explain that? Now, I'm really curious, so I'm really asking.

Sorry for the long delay, I'm buried...
First off, I'm not saying anyone should turn into anything.
I've simply made some observations that I've passed along. In fact I
recently sent a -specific- list of nine (9) specific issues.
If you don't understand that there isn't anything more I can do.
Take care.
