I'd suggest a pill for your problems, but cyanide is hard to get these days. So just a quick reality check - nobody, that is _nobody_ with any access to the FreeBSD FAQ would be so naive as to consider an IRC channel as the "rightful place" for technical discussions. If you want to do something about the "content problems" on efnet's #freebsd, I recommend a Thermos, some donuts, and some ACTIVE INPUT on your part. And before you ask; yes, I lurk there, and yes, I answer technical questions when I feel like it, as do quite a number of well-informed people. We have our standards however, and I suspect that they saw you coming a mile off. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
