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.

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.
