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. > You need to spend a few days with a good Unix SysAdmin. 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. > Who has the bias? I wonder why you would make a statement like that? Maybe > you can back it up with some reasoning. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Tom Wade | EMail: [log in to unmask] (all domain mailers).
