Uh, not to pick on Terry (specifically) or anything but I kind of hit the limit at this point in my inbox. Will you guys PLEASE, FOR GOD'S SAKE, SHUT UP ABOUT VC++ ALREADY! This is not a FreeBSD topic and if you insist on debating the merits of Windows development tools then I suggest that you do so privately or in -chat. I was not happy to see Justin unsubscribe to -hackers today but I cannot blame him in the least. The last few months have seen wholly irrelevant threads of insane length and the mail load represented by -hackers has grown beyond ALL reasonable bounds. I think more self control by all parties, and I include myself, is now called for. No more endless discussions about VC++ or ISDN or whether or not sync serial cards are works of the devil (they are, but then *every* PC peripheral fits that description so what?). I also think that Terry's self-control (should he decide to exercise it) would serve as a fitting example for the rest of us, given his special proclivity for following up to each and every post regardless of the topic. I'm sure that if we discussed animal husbandry or the appropriate brand of olive oil for wild sex parties, Terry could somehow manage to fan it into a 30 post thread, but that wouldn't further the cause of this list in any way! Enough, finito, time-out! I'd like to call for a moment of collective self-control in this mailing list before everyone in core jumps ship. And no, there's no need to follow-up to this message unless you're trying to qualify for the Olympic bozo team or something. If you agree with me, make the "amen!" a silent one in support of these sentiments. If you don't agree with me, send me private email! Thanks! Jordan
