Mr. Kosinski is apparently expressing his inner feelings about himself.
It is people that have a very poor self image who are quick to point out
the short comings of others.
Since Mr. Kosinski did it with such veracity, I'm wondering if he isn't a
regular on the suicide help lines.
Mr. Kosinski should realize that no matter what level of expertise he
thinks he has attained, there are many people above him who could
flame him worse.
So what it boils down to is:
You have to be a real ass to say something like this
You have to be a really stupid ass to say something like this in a public
forum.
Mr. Kosinski anything from you, from now on, is | /dev/null
I hope you don't need any help from this list. Some people have
multi-gig memories.

I entirely agree with Doug.
If I was a newbie here this kind of response would scare
me off from this group for good, to the consequent
detriment of the reputation of FreebSD, and one person who
may just decide it is something only for experts.
I am not a newbie to UNIX, but am relatively new to FreeBSD, so
I am not about to tell people how to behave here. But before
you shoot off insults at people (total strangers btw) think
how would feel to receive such an email or public posting.
My 0,2 (Dutch) cents worth
