<and a thousand more none of your business snipped>

how is it none of our business if the 2 sides are
bickering about money _we_ sent?  and it spilled
on a public mailing list?  did anyone really expect
that we will just watch our toes and keep quiet?
on m...@?  you know better than that art.


if wim says, yes, he sent the money i paid for the
cd's to theo, and theo says no he didnt get anything,
whom should i believe?  nobody was accountable to me
up to this point, but just like proving lost mail to
a big isp with mail queue id's, it should be relatively
easy to show paperwork where that money went.  you know,
i can't go on private chat with theo to confirm stuff,
you can.


it might seem absurd that people are willing to believe
wim's side of the story when theo is the father of all
this and has the greatest motivation to run a tight ship.
it is so maybe because wim offered to publish all accounting
info, while all theo seems to do is cry about how much money
could have been made by selling t-shirts...

btw. yes, i think that pulling the plug on wim exactly just
as pre-orders were sent was the worst time possible.  i even
remember thinking i am glad i did not pre-ordered, god knows
what will happen to those, because the commit did not
deign to comment about that...

if wim's flaws were kown for years than he should
have been locked out of business right after a release,
just when the biggest patches go in.


i expect we will never know the whole truth, because
it is "none of our business".  gentleman's agreements?
it's not worth even a comment.  the damage has been done.

it sure is true that openbsd code quality is high, i can't
imagine people hanging around for any other reason.  this was
the last place where i expected to find this kind of soap.

sigh.  as if openbsd's image wasn't tarnished enough.
just what we needed to make our advocacy job easier,
thanks everyone.


and tony's mail was excellent btw.  well done.
