I don't think they were the sole reasons for saying they are good core 
members, but.. no worries..

The *ONLY* person?  Wow.. I guess you haven't read much of the previous 
-advocacy lists or -doc lists..

I've never been paid for it, no.

That's great!  It sounds like you really want to be a part of the core 
team.

I'm not sure if you are insinuating that I "do nothing" for the project, 
but if you are, your information might not be as accurate as you think.

You know, I really think this is like mud-slinging, so I hate to even 
say anything, but *I* originally posted the ToDo list to the advocacy 
email list (quite some time ago) asking for people to volunteer their help.

This arguing is a total waste of time..

Let me also say that this isn't a "FreeBSD advocacy" only project. It is 
BSD ADVOCACY, hence the mailing list name and domain name.  Now, I also 
posted a message about the different CORE groups - one CORE group for 
each BSD - so I think some are still confused.


I don't really care if I'm a core member or not, and at this point 
nothing is getting done except for whining - so let's stop whining, and 
join together and make some advocacy happen.
