I've noticed quite a bit of this crap on -questions lately, and the worst part about it is that a lot of legitimate FreeBSD questions are going unanwered/unnoticed in favor of inane discussions that have no place on this list (religion vs. product logos and the like), and that could be avoided if the valued and long-standing citizens of this list community would steer clear of the bait being swung in front of them by a few trolls. It's almost as if we've been watching the demise of a very helpful, useful community, and it's quite disappointing. To address the specific passage above: exactly how is your sarcastic response any more appropriate to the list than that of the OP? > You're either a dumbass, or a 12 year old. Touche. If there's anything worse than feeding the trolls, it's remarks like this. Regardless of what was said before, if this person is a "12 year old", how does using the word "dumbass" in a message make you any better than him or her? > Many Thanks, > > Tomas No, thank you.
