[Entering Jordan mode and paraphrasing previous message] Oh bah... I think it's time to simply face the fact that your point of view on this matter is not really in line with that of most other folks and we might as well switch to a more productive and amusing line of bizarre claims, like whether or not the russians were the first to invent television or if the Pentium II processor is really alien technology from Area 51. I find either of those subjects to be far more credible than claims that the quality of someone else's driving is anything but the responsibility of the pedestrian and 100% HIS FREAKIN' FAULT when things go wrong. Sorry, Jordan, but at no time during this issue have you even come close to convincing me that anything else is true in your particular case. I agree that negligence was a cause here, I just don't agree that it was on the driver's part (the error was his for jumping the curb at 90 miles per hour, certainly, but negligence begins at home). You should not have left the house without an armored tank. Heck, you should not have left the house period. System administrators should never have lives. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
