Mr Kevin, You neither answered my question, nor do you have any idea what the word polite means, as you have so clearly demonstrated in all your replies. I think you should get out of the loop since you obviously are incompetent to answer the question. You do not own this distribution list, nor are you a representative thereof, nor are you the FreeBSD developer community's elected spokesperson. As you are ill-equipped to answer answer technical questions sent to an email address created for just such a purpose, the least you could do is shut up, and let technically knowledgeable individuals reply.
