Ignorance is bliss.  To some this truly was art, but to others it 
completely shattered their comfortably numb state.  As I followed the 
entire 5-CURRENT cycle, I found the image perfectly understandable.

I wouldn't reply to this except that people need to be continually 
reminded that this list is not some perfect little machine spitting out 
exacting messages dealing with the status of FreeBSD-CURRENT, but 
rather, a wash of tens of thousands of messages written by individuals 
from all over the globe.

Tied with high pressure situations such as the 5.3-RELEASE process, you 
should expect to see more highly offensive messages in the future.  
When you see another message like Alfred's, just take a deep breath, 
and turn the other cheek.

Cheers,
Pete...
