    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. :)
