I'm not saying godaddy is a thief, but equating the amount of $$ donated to being a good friend is wrong. If a thief steals $30mil and gives you $1mil, is he your best friend?
I think the criticisms here have been over gogaddy's business practises, and not the fact that they donated $10k. Godaddy *SHOULD NOT* have taken down fyodor's list no matter how much of an ass you believe he is. Is godaddy the new internet vcensor? On 2/3/07, chefren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

They really have lots of customers and it's easy to find a few that aren't happy and start screaming about it. Besides I remember Godaddy being on this list: http://www.openbsd.org/donations.html And I remember the amount of money involved too. Godaddy is bij far the most OpenBSD frienly big registar +++chefren
