It is entirely likely that the community have been caught unawares by the stranger in their midst; no doubt they are asking the same questions as I am now asking, which are, "Who is this guy from Microsoft, and why is he asking so many random questions?" Not to be rude you understand. These are quite reasonable questions to ask, given the perceived ideological opposition based on the organisation you represent, its ideology, and its business practices. However, to stay the reasonable and centred course. I would suggest the following course of action: 1. You subscribe to freebsd-hackers_at_ (a more appropriate venue for such coding questions) 2. You post an initial mail asking a question, with sufficient background about why the Possibly Nasty Man from Possibly Nasty Organisation is Asking So Many Questions. Tell us about yourself. This clear communication dispels the randomness aspect and the Possibly Nasty Man aspect, helping all to achieve clear communication. I myself am familiar with communicating with sub-entities of the Microsoft entity, having had productive open source work directly funded by your organisation, regardless of concerns in the wider community regarding that organisation. With apologies to the late Robert Anton Wilson. Hope this helps! Kind regards BMSReceived on Thu Feb 22 2007 - 13:15:53 UTC
