I am sorry.  I was not implying that the site organizer was biassed, but
that people who were Tru64 users (and I presume a site called www.tru64.org
is aimed at Tru64 users) would be (understandably) biassed against a merger
that would mean the end of their platform.  Therefore I would expect the
*result* of such a poll taken at the venue to come down predominantly
against the merger.

I did not intend to question your fair handling of such a poll, or your
dedication as a volunteer.

No thank you.  I have already had to change jobs once because I was forced
to do SysAdmin for Unix systems in addition to the VAXes I was happily
running.  Never again.

I freely admit I am heavily biassed against Unix.  This is firmly based on
first hand experience managing Unix systems.  I have no wish to rehash the
old "VMS vs Unix" wars here again, so I won't go into the details of why I
hate Berkeley Hackware, suffice it to say that I will tolerate NT at a
pinch, as long it is not for high reliability situations, but not Unix,
under any circumstances.
