That is no reflection of the worth of your contribution(s), just a cultural chasm between the two us. And having spent a week visiting Florence (sorry, can't resist first-hand anecdotes), I can see both your more pragmatic point of view and my own interest in archaeology. I would like to persuade you otherwise, but maybe that will happen to you without my help. Until then (a) I'll be happy but cautious to help you bring the ONE Plan 9 to term and will provide all resources at my disposal to do that and (b) will continue to ensure that the reasons and rationales for Plan 9 are not lost in the quest for Shiny New Features. 9p.io is a museum piece, I grant, let it stay. If the Mona Lisa or the Lamborghini Miura or some similar monuments to human creativity do not appeal to you, let me appeal to you on behalf of those who feel like me, so that you do not contribute to their destruction. In my opinion and my philosophy, without history there is no future. I can see how that may seem pointless to some, at least for a time. Lucio.
