rog,
i fully agree with you.
david, please dont feel bad. just ignore any negative comments and proceed
with what you are doing. we need more people into plan 9. i know how
difficult it is to bring people in. i know how easy it is to chase people
out. i wouldnt want a nice OS to disappear and show it to my grandchildren
in museum.
regards
dharani
