-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I dont remember what the was about but anyway by looking at my message there it looks like I am encouraging a little self study. When I come here unprepared without first trying to fix it myself, people here guide me to look at the freebsd website or elsewhere. Everyone needs to know how to find the answer themselves and when they cant then they come here! That is how I learned when I first started coming here to the freebsd mailing list! So ease up Mr. Washington!
