Chicken, egg. I am here because one Rob Young started an anti Sun
tirade to deflect criticism from the then owners of OpenVMS.

Rob could apologise and agree to stop spouting the same kind of BS
in the future but I very much doubt he will.

And I care because the anti Sun stuff was made up as is much of the
anti UNIX and Linux stuff and so should you because much of it
demonstrates a total ignorance of the platforms and products being
attacked.

Periodically Rob or some other chorister regurgitates the same
line having had it slapped down a few months or a year earlier
often as has been admitted to deflect further criticism from
OpenVMS's current owner.

This BS falls into certain predictable and always unsupported
categories.

The OpenVMS TCO BS
The OpenVMS CERT BS
The UNIX cluster BS
The AlphaServer performance BS
The SPARC is dead BS
The Slowaris BS
etc etc.

So let me ask you a question, do Bob's tirades trying to link
all Linux security issues with commercial UNIX platforms in an
attempt to FUD UNIX from a security standpoint strike
a chord with you or do you disagree with them ?

Do Robs everything sucks except Itanium tirades strike a chord
with you or do you disagree with them ? (a road to damascus
type conversion from everything sucks except Alpha).

Did the same tirade in favour of Alpha also garner the same
reaction from you ?

And if you disagreed with any of the rants above then why
didn't you say so ?

If you want me to stop posting to this group then you would
do better to direct your wrath at the more objectionable
elements in this group.

Andrew Harrison
