Perhaps you should _READ_ the mailing list charters. freebsd-stable is not an appropriate place for chitchat, that is what freebsd-chat is for. This is blatantly obvious to most reading the list, but I must clarify it for those not in the know. I would hate for them to take your statement as an endorsement of chitchat on the freebsd-stable mailing list. If you feel that people are chatting beyond the bounds of the mailing list it is your duty as a responsible member of the FreeBSD community to bring it to their attention. If you feel it would embarass them, it is your option to notify them offlist that they have overstepped the scope of the mailing list charters. If they continue with their behavior you should consult the handbook and notify the appropriate people to get the situation escalated. Otherwise, let's all just get along. Brandon D.
