Re: [Xen-users] Under the table experiment

Dude, take it to the list, I take no pleasure in discussing marketing
with you privately.

What are your actual contributions to the Xen community?  save your

some respect in the process.  I hate to sound rude but... google for
RTFM and find out on your own.

huge pile of regards,
