I've never seen them, and neither has anyone else who is willing to commit them.

Who is this 'ethereal' 'you'? You certainly didn't make them available publically. > When that happens, I risk losing rungs on > an incremental ladder. Rungs which I need to do my own research. How can making your code available be determinental to you?

Julian != FreeBSD. Julian is one person. Submit them via a public medium, so that you can't state that *everyone* is ignoring you and your patches. If they're valid, they'll stand on their own merit and then your claim that you are being ignored by the FreeBSD project, when in fact you've never submitted your patches to the group. The only public patch you've sent out in recent *years* is now in the tree. Nate
