To everyone at FreeBSD. > Down With Arrogant Closed Minded People!!! Personally, I don't think this type of response is appropriate. Mr. Kidz was unaware of the meaning of .latin1, and I think a reply simply reminding him to read README files would have been more useful. I don't think it hurts to give him the benefit of the doubt as far as wether or not he was unduly criticizing a volunteer FreeBSD project. I'm certainly open to other opinions, and I wouldn't want to deny someone who has spent years working on a project such as FreeBSD the leisure of verbally assaulting someone, but I think that otherwise it is (generally) best to treat all other comments such as Mr. Kidz's with respect (due or not). -- tIM...HOEk Who's been messing with my anti-paranoi shot?!
