Thank you for answering the question.  Let me explain my point of view on
the exchange.

I worked for a company in Birmingham AL for about 6 years from Seattle.  I
had Birmingham insurance, Birmingham HR people etc, but I was remote.  I
thought perhaps it was not clear if one could be a satellite employee for
one of those offices or not.

I felt that when you basically cut and pasted your response to me, that you
were irritated by my question and answering me in a rude way.  I was not
trying to troll the thread, but now it may appear to be the opposite.

I have a lot of respect for what you guys have done with Plan 9 and AOE, and
think it's an interesting business, but suddenly I felt that perhaps I
wouldn't have a compatible personality with the boss.

Anyway, I'd like to reboot the discussion, but it's in the archives now :-).

I do wish you, very sincerely, to have continued success with your business.

Dave
