i want to destroy bad things and keep discussion on topic.

now it's MAYBE 1 post on-topic and 20 off-topic. at least.

i don't mean blocking it completely, but on THAT list which is "questions 
about FreeBSD". Not "questions about millions of programs available for 
unix".

if "questions about various unix programs running under FreeBSD" list will 
be created, i will be a place for that.
