And fine charters they are, indeed. Very logical. Very organized. I love the theory. However, I must concede the sociological reality that trying to get people not to chitchat in freebsd-stable is like trying to prohibit personal conversations at work. It's unenforceable, even if there were an authority motivated to enforce it, which there isn't. It is reasonable, though, to prohibit people from posting personal messages on the company bulletin board, and I'm merely proposing the establishment of an analogous device. -Michael Robinson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
