While I agree, her post was seriously off-topic, and completely brain dead - BUT SO WERE THE REPLIES!!! Come on folks, we have wasted (at least) 20x the bandwidth the original poster did - so why don't we just let it go? Also, I would like to point out that we don't see this much vitriol when a commercial spammer posts something. I find *that* easily as irritating and offensive as a knuckleheaded soap-box post from a religious zealot. BTW, for the atheists in the room, a recent court decision held that atheism is, in fact, a form of religion. I, for one, find the atheists soap box just as grinding and irritating as everyone else's soap box. That said, why don't we lay off the atheists, Christians, Quakers - and who knows who else - and get back to the business of learning about FreeBSD? (if the offended parties aren't atheists - my bad, but whatever you are, enough's enough...) As an aside, I would ask why this lady deserves more abuse than any other spammer or huckster. Why don't we blast them all equally for wasting our time? Just a thought...
