Perhaps that might be a little too harsh - you could say a lot of things about
Gerald, but one thing I, as a foreigner, could not say about him is that "he's
close minded".In fact, please don't make the mistake of underestimating Gerald
- in my personal experience, he's one of the most open minded people and one of
the best thinkers I'vehad the pleasure of learning to know personally.
The comments made are, I'm sorry to say, unjust. There is nothing wrong with
wanting to preserve who one is.
Please let's not let this become a deterrent, this mailing list is about
(Open)Solaris, not cultural differences.
