But that will get pounded to hell anyway, so it doesn't matter. I am also aware that we are not the only people to do that, in my research I have run across a few that have questioned it also, and got the same treatment. BTW, Jordan, I have written to publications about FreeBSD. Unix Review come rather quickly to mind. Once I was published, and the others rejected. In fact the latest issue has some letters about FreeSBD written by others, but mine were rejected. Now by your gauge, I sure that is my fault. --Frank "At no time is the freedom of speech more precious then when a man hits his thumb with a hammer." --Marshall Lumsden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
