I was sitting here playing "let's try > putting a punctuation mark here and see if it makes the statement > mean anything". I had considered the possibility that the Prima Donas > might have been a soccer team from some country I've never heard of. I had trouble parsing it without a colon following the "do". It becomes readable, then. ] I have zero more work to do: take it with current's Prima Donas. I took this to mean that it ran on his machine, and that the reason it didn't run for the poster was that the patches Amancio did to make it work for himself have not been integrated into FreeBSD-current. And that Amancio was slightly miffed about this fact. Oh, and while we are criticising grammar, he probably should have put the word "up" before the word "with"; but it's the message that's important, not the grammar.
