I can appreciate your intentions, but you're recommending waging a

propaganda campaign against a group of people that aren't going to be

moved by it.
Theo de Raadt is both knowledgeable, public, and straightforward, and

convincing a bunch of folks who are not also knowledgeable, public,

and straightforward to jump in will muddy the discussion and detract

from Theo's argument, not add to it.
I think we've seen plenty of that already, here on this mailing list

and in the misguided discussions on Slashdot.
This should be left up to the experts. (Which is exactly why I've kept

my damn yap shut.)
