Well said. As a long time contributor to the net, I have supported
the net for years, mailing out Unix device drivers for non-standard
hardware, providing advice and information to anyone who asked and
in general taking the time and effort to keep the information flowing
into and out of the sites that I have been envolved with. 

Now I find that my Unix related work has taken me into the area of
examining the usefulness of the Macintosh as a tool in the Unix
environment.

However, I also find that the information that I need for my Unix 
related work that I find in the Macintosh groups is under fire by
people who complain that it is not useful to them personally.

It looks to me like I had better take a good long look at the kind
of people I have been supporting all these years.
