I'm sorry I started this thread. I just wondered if there was a dictionary of terms that I could reference. There were some helpful links given and that is appreciated. If anybody else has any helpful links or reference material or books to recommend please do! Even though there is a lot I would like to say about some of the comments made, I will refrain from doing so because it's not worth my time. Thanks again for the links, Jerry Dunham and Ataualpa Albert Carmo Braga! -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Shevlen Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 4:25 PM To: CARTER Anthony; freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Re: OT Humble Pie (was hardw words) In my humble opinion this thread has been nothing but noise for about a week. Some joker (a.k.a. Lal Manavado) has been giving his thesarus a workout and that's about it. If you have nothing constructive to say, don't broadcast it. Otherwise I'm with Anthony - join the docs project and do something about it. Say it don't spray it. Let's propose a merciful end to this thread.
