> You seem to have mistaken hackers@freebsd.org for hackers@dragonflybsd.org. Thank you Poul for taking the time to correct me. Although checkpointing was a specifically requested feature for FreeBSD, it was, given the circumstances, an unforgivable error for me to announce it on a FreeBSD list. The module was implemented in a fork of the code base and hence is clearly irrelevant. Particularly when contrasted with fascinating discussions about bikesheds, bringing up a mundane facility for serializing and deserializing process state truly only adds to the noise on the list. > Please don't make this mistake again. Once again my sincerest apologies. I'm flattered that someone who has made such fundamental contributions to the state of the art in FreeBSD as phkmalloc and the beerware license would condescend to correct me. I was so ashamed of myself for being so oblivious as to think that FreeBSD might still bear some relevance to DragonFly that I unsubscribed from all of the FreeBSD mailing lists, thus ensuring that I never make the same mistake again. I've CC'ed the list so that all might read my apology and know of your kindness in gently informing me off-list. I'm certain that your keen insights and low-key charisma, as demonstrated by this thoughtful e-mail, will help to ensure the continued growth of FreeBSD as a dynamic thriving community. Thanks. -Kiphelp
