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.
