dave, no problem. i didn't cut and paste the answer, but i'm very sorry that i gave that impression. i'm a pretty easygoing guy, a fact that isn't obvious over an email list. i wasn't irritated by the question at all. the question was a very good one.
the reason we can't do remote employees is that one of our objectives is that plan9ers have a positive cultural influence on the entire development group. i feel such an influence requires daily interaction. but we will keep you in mind as we grow. in all my interactions i try to emulate the gentlemanly ways of dennis ritchie. brantley On Oct 25, 2010, at 11:55 AM, David Leimbach wrote: > Thank you for answering the question.
