Obviously, none of us would be here talking about Plan 9 without their contributions. It's because of their hard work that we have a base from which to launch our experiments. The article linked above is an example of poor journalism, complete with misquotes and fabricated quotes. I made the unfortunate mistake of entertaining the author's queries and inviting him to our IRC channel. I take full responsibility for the misunderstandings, though I wonder why we're all so credulous when it comes to articles on websites. 9front exists to have fun and learn by working with the system. That's what we're doing. -sl
