Valeri, you and everyone else are welcome to what I have gleaned over nearly thirty years of using and occasionally contributing to FreeBSD. I am deeply grateful that FreeBSD exists and continues to be the FreeBSD it always has been in spirit and direction. May I take your thanks, add my own and pass them to everyone who has helped make FreeBSD what it is today and has always been. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith
