My apologies for being rude the few days ago. I don't know what happened to me, I'm usually not naughty like that. Bapt who knows me IRL would also say that. My personal life is not at its best state currently and everything that upset me get me nervous and rude.. I've been using FreeBSD for 5 years and developed some patches / improvements which honoured an entry to the additional contributors and I don't really want my name to be removed :-). Seriously, I feel really embarrassed for what I've said.To really explain why I got angry like that (but that does not excuse my words) is the following situation: 1. I've first stambled accross the new boot graphical Nakatomi Socrates art. I've been afraid of being hacked or something gone wrong in the SVN branches. Fortunately, quickly, some of the developers told me that it was a joke / tribute for the 9.2 RELEASE, then I just said "I would not recommend to set it as default" but with very clean words. And then I disabled it using loader_logo="orb" as they said. 2. More than one month later, I upgraded to 9.2-RELEASE and then I saw the "Nakatomi Socrates" version shown in the right bottom and that's why I first thought that it was reenabled again (even in orb logo, I didn't know the existence of loader_version before!). So that's why I felt so angry.. Nevertheless this does not excuse my behavior. I love FreeBSD and still hack, develop it and don't want to get in troubles with *you* so please agree to my apologies. PS: I'm not a dinosaur as you may have thought, I like the "small jokes" that you can see for example in the syscons screen savers, the jokes in the man pages and such. But these things are more "hidden" and you need some research to get them which provides more excitement when you see them, on the other hand the "Nakatomi Socrates" art / version were *for me* a bit too intense as you see them by default, without enabling something. Again, sorry for that noise. Love, regards. David.
