I guess it's a semantics thing, but i think it's more of a passive vs aggressive/assertive thing, rather than being mean or rude vs nice.

Good quote btw are you in marketing/advertising?

heh, i would also like to meet the mythical being that is Plan9. I daresay that there is quite a bit of hype to live up too
Fortunatley, with shows like this one, i can already experience the majestic beauty of OC
Although it'd be good if you could drop into Perth sometime, to taste the women

...
I think woodhead makes some valid points as well (along with having impeccable English skillz ), even though they may contradict some of Plan9's points, there's a duality for them. For an analogy, to basketball , there's surely many ways of playing the game, not just one.

For instance, logically, people may think you should try to get close to the basket (as a strategy) cause it's easy to score there. However people are also good at shooting from the outside, and can score from there as well Some people chose one over the other or even combine both.

However, there's always the underlying need of playing hard] which is required in order to succeed and is immaterial of which ever strategy you want to use. Although this playing hard, in the real world, pretty much equates to a confidence thing, variety and change up. heh, hope there wasn't too many holes in that one i think i just wanted to create another pointless analogy on the fly
