Justin A Kolodziej => was, AFAIU, upset about the _tone_ with which he was directed to => the information. He was (convincingly, at least, for me) arguing, => that his question was indeed relevant to -current. The fact, that => Quake was already discussed on -multimedia and/or that people there => know/care about Quake more is not immediately obvious. Respectfully, =You DON"T LIKE MY TONE ---- YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME . I believe, I so far managed to avoid expressing my own opinion about it. If you ask, though, I think, that it is a very common problem -- a person who knows something underestimates how hard (or possible) it is to obtain this knowledge without asking. This includes all kinds of knowledge from cooking, to NFS setup, to the relevance of particular questions to particular mailing lists. =I bet that you guys are joking, right?? At least one person was/is so upset, the honorable President had to intervene :) -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
