i am appalled.  we very seldom encounter such hostility from FreeBSD users.
perhaps because we get paid to be polite and accommodating.

i don't have the person's email address so i can't tell him this.  i would
like to tell the people on these mailing lists that Walnut Creek CDROM has
an UNCONDITIONAL refund policy.  at the VERY least, this user may get his
money back from us.  you might also refer customers like this to
"support@cdrom.com" and we'll do what we can to help him.

Walnut Creek CDROM considers ANY unsatisfied customer to be a failure.  if
we can't get their system working, we will do what we can to minimize their
unhappiness.
