Wojciech - I know you are a very competent and experienced user when it comes to FBSD so do not treat my post as kind of a flame war. Let me say this - if you want to help, please do. There are many times when your replies are helpful (gmirror comes to mind) but more often than not you discourage beginners from getting interested in this project. Please stop doing that. Please. It seems to me that you are forcing your views on everyone by looking at reality from your point of view only. I wouldn't have written this if it was only tiring, but it is also harmful to the communit at large, especially those who are interested in giving FBSD a try.
