Be nice with your questions / feedback and you'll get a be nice with your responces .. it cuts both ways, and always read the context . not just with an eye spoiling for a fight, as you have so abley demonstrated int eh past, as now. > similar response.

I see Linux, and only Linux, in this man's future. this is a real loss for freebsd the sad thing is that we, more correctly you are causing this to happen more and more offten. what is this about amercan englsih that makes it so special that its purity needs to be protected so virulenlty by attacking so savagely every one who stray away from teh gold standard as espoused by the walnut creek elite cliched group mindset ? for a group how so adamnetly supports the freendon of speach and or expression you peoples sure do a lot of very active supporession of communications, especialy by and from people who are even marginally differnet from teh majorty of teh hurd. every time i see a post liek this fom you and teh like minded sheep it makes it so much easier to not recomend freebsd, or more to the point to worry a lot about how the new freebsd user will be treated, more so if they don't speak near perfect american english. how long is it going to take you smallminded people to realise that the world doesnt stop at teh borders of mainland usa and or the world is a place full of diversity of culture and epression and that while 'englsih' might be teh labguage of computing not all are as equall skilled at its daily usages and cross border neuances. to use teh disaparagmtn yo and your chronies sned often enught to me .. 'get a life, jordan', or that other old chestnut, 'grow up' take care .. you may just end up getting the kind of freebsd you are buiilding. jonathan ... i'm stupid because i was born like this, whats your excuse ? -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia =========================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
