Quoting:

	For those of you who don't seem to know, UNIX is **NOT** the user
	interface, UNIX **IS** the kernal and file system, **NOTHING MORE**.
	As evidence, take a look at the differences between sh(1) and csh(1).
	These shells are not UNIX, but programs that run on UNIX.

You are wrong.  Go read your Unix license, or the Thompson and Ritchie
CACM paper.
