Consider this: We have already traded mails privately on the RTFM thing, but, since you want it to be public, here goes. This list is "Freebsd-QUESTIONS". Get it? People *ASK QUESTIONS* here. That why it's *called* questions. Your fixed response of "Read the Handbook, Part X, Chapter Y, Subsection Z, Paragraph Z.xyz" does NOT provide everything that is needed when someone asks a question here. People are NOT always going to read the manual. Sometimes they read it, but don't see it, even if it's there. Maybe it's there, but they don't know *where* to look for it. This is forum of interactive "SUPPORT". *NOT* a self-appointed "Pompous Guardian of the Manual" glee club. If you don't like the fact that people ask questions which have answers somewhere else, then you should NOT follow -questions! A Friendly Answer will do more than a Technically-Correct one. Now, to repeat what I said earlier, *off-list*: Stick It. J.A.
