Re: Crunch "Tweaks" OpenBSD

["Peter" <peter@easynix.com>]

You should not judge over somebody you don't know.
Probably you are just a bit younger and don't know all the things.
Besides that, John didn't develop that Box by himself. He
is part of a team and co-founder of the company.
If he wouldn't have blown the whistle, many of us wouldn't have
the job we have today. He also did some other nice things at this time.
John is a well known programer and developer and knows unix and bsd
since many years....and yes, he also knows what TCP/IP is.
If you have any bsd or unix questions, please feel free to e-mail him:
crunch@webcrunchers.com is his e-mail adress. He is a very friendly guy
and will answer all your questions.
Best Regards
Peter
