Pardon me for being the asshole now, how much I agree, but please, PLEASE don't abuse the pr system like this. If you feel you need to congratulate the advocacy guys (whom we all are in a sense) mail to advocacy@freebsd.org. You will reach them in that way. If we start to dirty the PR system with stuff like this, we lose the effectiveness of the PR system which is already a hell of a job to maintain. Of course I speak from my own person, but I hope the others agree with me on this one. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best Haste makes waste.
