    Hey, Kris!

    do they gotta freebsd-foundation-questions list? 'Cause I wanna get me a
    subscription!

    I said yesterday that I had been using FreeBSD since 3.4, but I misspoke.
    Actually it has been since 3.1. Turns out I hadda dig out those disks just
    today, and lo and behold! It was 3.1! It was probably the same year,
    though.

    Man! What progress since then!

    I wonder why it is that all of the FreeBSD core team are not also on the board
    of directors? Or did I misunderstand that? Do you mean that not all of the
    core team are on the board?? Or not all of the board members are part of the
    core team? I guess that'd have to be a pretty big meeting room, for sure, if
    everyone who contributed was on the board!!! NO WONDER they can't get a press
    release out! Too many people trying to decide what color to paint the bike
    shed!

    Anyway, if you know how to get in touch with the freebsd foundation (other
    than via PayPal) please let me know. I'd just love to send them my thanks
    and congratulations.
