Here is the archive for the Unix Hater's mailing list:
http://www.mindspring.com/~blackhart/ Download it and, in the first half of the (long) archive, you will find the users raising holy hell at Eric S. Raymond for what he was doing to the Jargon File at the time. Raymond had changed the anti-Unix jokes, substituting MS-DOS for Unix in each case. The users of the mailing list would have been happy with Raymond coming up with original anti-Microsoft jokes, but were justifiably angry at Raymond for re-writing history. I don't have quite as bad an opinion of Eric S. Raymond as do some people around here. In particular, his idea of Kafka trapping is insightful ( http://0-esr.ibiblio.org.librus.hccs.edu/?p=2122 ). I do note the irony of a libertarian who gripes at the distortions of the mainstream media having done a bit of media distortion of his own. |
