many points (and also in other ways, from what I've seen of his work),
it does NOT mean that he and I are the same person. ;-)

You're doing Terry injustice. Terry is one of the fathers of FreeBSD,
even if, as you observe, he's not a committer. Let's say that there
were certain differences of opinion. That doesn't lessen Terry's
contribution, though: without him, there probably wouldn't be a
FreeBSD as we know it.

Some call him Mr. Init or Mr. Kernel on occasion... Take a peek 'round
/usr/src/sbin/init IIRC.
Terry falls into the line like bde, jkh, and such when it comes to
statements...

I wrote the first 386BSD FAQ.
I made the first 386BSD 0.1 kernel patch (for HP Vectra and AT&T WGS/E boxes).
I handed the FAQ off (to David Burgess).
I wrote the 386BSD patchkit software.
I assembled the first comprehensive set of patches, using that
software, and hand-applying the patches.
I handed the patchkit off (to Nate, Rod, and Jordan).
But I'd call Jordan "the fater of FreeBSD", if you had to single
anyone out...

Yes, but did you expect fairings?

There is an unwritten rule somewhere. Something about correcting spelling
and grammar mistakes. I wasn't aware that it applied to original posters
correcting themselves.

Were you fat-fingered again on *purpose*? :-)

Aphasic dyslexia. You should see what I did with my memorization
of identity tables for partial differential equations in math 452,
until I retook it after the physics class that required the math
as a prerequisite.
Let us just say that without a reality check from which the math
can be derived, there's no intrinsic reason to not "creatively"
rearrange the symbols. Having learned my lesson, thereafter I
always took the physics classes one quarter ahead of the course
requirements for the math classes supposedly needed to do the
physics.
I think perhaps Andrew Jackson said it best:
"It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to
spell a word."
(commonly misattributed to Mark Twain aka Samuel Clemens).

Bah. Maybe, but not here. At 132+wpm, it's pretty easy to misspell
something. I can hit max speeds of 100wpm on a good day. If I
happen to cross thoughts at the wrong moment, whole words get
substituted pretty quickly. I (and I imagine most people) merely
type whatever word I happen to be thinking at the moment, which
hopefully is related to the current subject-matter... Usually it's
just a case of my thoughts skipping a few words.
180wpm on a manual typewriter is pretty damn fast. That's
frighteningly close to typing as fast as I can read (which is
unfortunately slow).
