Oh, yes, the articles up there do tend to be clear and well-written - no
doubt about that. It's just that dissent with any of PJ's opinions seems
to be very poorly tolerated.
She made a claim once that NetWare was derived from Unix; I saw someone
attempt to correct that, and it wasn't well received - and the person
attempting to correct that was in fact correct; the guys at SuperSet (the
group that coded the original NetWare kernel) may have had a Unix
background from their CS studies at BYU, but NetWare bears as much
resemblance (both externally and internally) to Unix as the OS on a
Commodore VIC-20 does.
