Still no reason to dismiss him. as one of the people featured in the "peace love and paychecks" article, i found the reporting to be surprisingly accurate (ie it could have been much much worse). i often tell people who ask me "what do you do" to read a copy of it. i haven't read any of his other pieces, though, so i can't really comment on bias or accuracy over the body of his work. --------------000602030504020600070600 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="cel.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="cel.vcf" begin:vcard fn:Chuck Lever n:Lever;Chuck org:Network Appliance, Incorporated;Open Source NFS Client Engineering email;internet:cel@citi.umich.edu title:Member of Technical Staff x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.monkey.org/~cel/ version:2.1 end:vcard --------------000602030504020600070600--
