hay enough of this BS about top posting. You have to wake up to the fact there are many people who belong to this list who are not UNIX bigots. Us win/outlook people have just as much right to post as the rest of you. And more to the point who the hell pointed this new comer of just 10 days (vizion) as the cop to be forcing his slanted views on the rest of us. To vizion aren't you suppose to be sailing your boat right now bound for Europe via Panama Canal. Only thing you have contributed is more background noise. This list was better with out you. so concentrate on your sailing before you get lost and need government help to save you from perishing at seas. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Vizion Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 3:17 PM Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Top Posting (was: [Freebsd 5.4 not finding my NIC]) On Friday 27 May 2005 12:09, the author Dmitry Mityugov contributed to the dialogue on Re: Freebsd 5.4 not finding my NIC: >On 5/27/05, Vizion <vizion@vizion.occoxmail.com> wrote: >> On Friday 27 May 2005 11:18, the author Dmitry Mityugov contributed to >> the >> >> dialogue on Re: Freebsd 5.4 not finding my NIC: >> >On 5/27/05, Vizion <vizion@vizion.occoxmail.com> wrote: >> >> thread >> >> this >> >> to >> >> post >> >> top >> >> not >> >> do >> >> Please :-):-) (I have moved your input to bottom!) - it is easier to >> > >> >This is not a newsgroup. >> >Yes, please. >> >> this is a mail list -- not a private communication >> This is not a file in which the latest letter gets pinned to the top!!! >> Please do not bring habits from the paper world to the electronic world! > >Please don't ask me to invent my own habits my friend.
