In-Reply-To: <4.3.2.7.2.20010119092259.048d6100@localhost> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I actually have some responsibility in this, so I guess that all of this innuendo about me and other shit I've been seeing out of Brett's mouth should be clarified. I'm the one who mentioned the killfile in relation th Brett. It looked to me as if Jordan was about to do something unwise, and that was to dump Brett off the lists because Brett was being an asshole. I posted a .procmailrc recipe that (in retrospect it wouldn't have done much: Brett has morphing addresses) would lose the official flavor of banning Brett, yet still keep sanity. I did not actually implement the recipe in my own case, figuring that there's always the delete key in case of real annoyance. I have watched as Brett has lambasted me repeatedly for my public posting of said recipe, and said nothing, as there is nothing really to say in this case. I will freely admit that my action wasn't the most netiquette-friendly, but in my mind it beat the alternative by a long shot. Apparently Brett doesn't think so. He is more than welcome to his ideas, but he is NOT welcome to his implication that there was ANY official component to my posting of the recipe. The only thing I have to do with the FreeBSD project is I use it's product about 1/3 of the time (I tri-boot linux, win, and FBSD). I find it laughable that Brett seems to think that >I< am more a part of FreeBSD than he is, since I've only really been using FreeBSD for the better part of 2 years. Brett, if you really want to throw innuendo around, do so with the full knowlege that the person you're playing with WILL respond in kind from this day forward, and I really doubt that you want my notice in this case.
