I really don't understand. people giving donations to OpenBSD presumably use, or most likely, rely on OpenBSD. OpenBSD comes out of Theo's basement, literally. do you read every line of code? do you dissasemble the binaries? what I'm getting at is, you trust in Theo, or do you? and if you care about what happens with the money once Theo gets it, don't you care that Theo actually gets it? > I'm very happy how stuff went with kd85 and I got info about what > happened with my money and it's exactly as it was advertised on both the > official openbsd website as on wim's website. > > Why send theo a CC if you have trouble with kd85 ? > Are you also cc-ing theo if you have trouble with your local pizza joint > because it takes you some time to get in touch with them personally so > you cant spend that time on openbsd development ? poor example. here's a better, similar example. in my city there is a restaurant delivery service. they advertise with the names, logos, and menus of local restaurants. you place an order with them, they forward it to the restaurant, pick it up and deliver it to you. now, if they would take your order and your money, but never deliver your food, don't you think the restaurant would want to know that a) they lost business and b) someone is using their name to defraud people? > If you have trouble with kd85 it's an issue between them and you, and > noone cares cept you and kd85. huh? the are donations are for OpenBSD, not kd85. why is this hard to understand? > btw, did you call Wim ?

His number is listed on his website. from what Ingo wrote, I think it would be a good idea to record those calls. > -- > > Michiel van Baak > [email protected] > http://michiel.vanbaak.eu > GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x71C946BD > > "Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users?" > -- [email protected] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
