Well, if you're so experienced in FreeBSD, and you've been in #freebsd before, you know #freebsd is not a help channel. > #FreeBSD seems like a natural place to ask such a question since > many project members spend time there. #FreeBSD is not the natural place to ask any question. Are we making that somewhat clear ? Those same project members are also in #freebsdhelp. #FreeBSD is an IRC channel and owned by the operators. If they decide that there is no talking allowed in the channel, that's their perogitive. If they decide only their good friends can come in the channel, same thing. Bitching about it on the advocacy list isn't going to change how they handle their channel. I must have said it 50 times, but lemme say it again, #freebsdhelp. > But that assumption is apparently quite wrong. > > Sorry, I won't make the mistake of asking questions on #FreeBSD no > matter how intelligent or stupid they may be.

Not just dumb > questions, questions, any questions at all. It's more a matter of asking questions in the wrong place. You may not be a FreeBSD newbie, but I would say your IRC experience is very weak. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
