Yes, some of us have been talking about this subject for a long time. :) It's nice to see the momentum continue to build.

Can you please describe in as much detail as you feel comfortable with exactly *why* you don't feel comfortable asking questions? Perhaps on a different thread. This is a key area of the FreeBSD project and since I'm at a loss to understand why someone wouldn't feel comfy asking questions on the -questions list, I need help understanding. :) > > To some people, a democracy means that the strong and numerous screw the > > small and timid.
