Is this some new everyone@freebsd.org spam?  I didn't get any
previous personal email from this fellow, and I find the first
sentence amusing since I have practically no source code in the
tree...

Hello FREEBSD developer!, I wrote you a letter about videoeducation
based on the source-code you've written.

But it looks like you've been ignoring me or you
simply didn't get my e-mail.I don't care about whatever because I'm 
determined to write to you people until I get some feedback.

My subject in short is this:
FreeBSD has written beautiful source-code,it has been free so people
have
learned OS-development from your sourcecode.Fantastic,very good thinking
of you.You have actually contributed to make the world to a better
place.

I honestley believe that more technology is going to make the world
better,not lesser technology and lesser knowledge.

Now,for your information I can tell that people with common IQ like
myself,CANNOT pick up the 'gold' in you're sourcecode.We need help.

I want to be able to buy videocassetts and pay for the material
costs,and the distribution.Videocassetts that shows the sourcecode
of your OS      and next to the
sourcecode the flowchart and I want to hear an appearing or not
appearing teacher explaining,motivating,analyzing,structuring the source
code all and all over again.

I think that one person with a videocamera and a 21 inch com.screen
could manage this...............

Question:Do you think medium IQ-ed tech-fanatics would buy these videos?
Do you think programmers all around the world want to follow a line by
line education on your sourcecode,seeing none on their TV-screen 
hearing just a voice that brings food for their ears ?????

OK! I Know a few proffesional videocameras they cost,and your time
costs.------But I got news for you.Tell me what you want and I WILL 
FIND THE MONEY FOR YOU-----(Hurray!)
