Deanna, according to your own analysis a while ago, a lot of BSD users and developers use OS X and such, so why do you post a link to an OGG file, even though you know that most of us will be unable to listen to it? :)

Moreover, the following message is also noteworthy:

  Gentle Reader,
  
  I post the ogg link because Will does not html-ify them on his page like he does with the mp3s. Anyone who prefers oggs and is familiar with bsdtalk knows this. I am saving them some copy/paste.
  
  WRT to your URL: I have this incurable habit of thinking my own thoughts. ;-)
  
  Seriously, if you have problems or suggestions please email rather than derail.
  
  Thanks!

    Fair enough, I've noticed that too. :) Have you tried contacting him and expressing the concern?
    
    And BTW, the interview is pretty cool. :)
