This is a voluntary mailing list. If you want FreeBSD support, pay for it - a number of companies provide it. There's no difference here between operating systems: there are volunteer forums for BSD, Linux, Mac, Windows. And then there's paid support. Businesses that want support for their operating systems (who don't support their IT deployments internally), buy that support. That's how a lot of the contributors here make a living. But this list is NOT paid support. > [...] > > > Also one other thing that is important - if you don't get an answer > > within a week or so, ask again, politely. > > How do I ask after the second post with no reply?

Taking the line that other subscribers here somehow owe you a living will alienate some of the people who might otherwise help you. Of course, you're can do that if you want. Peter.
