> > I thank you for your display of considerable arrogance and unwillingness to > cooperte on a socdial or business level. I didn't notice anyone displaying arrogance or unwillingness to cooperate. What I see is someone completely misunderstanding what they were doing and then trying to blame someone else for their own mistakes. Further, it is not possible for "someone at FreeBSD" to remove your messages from existance because no-one "at FreeBSD" has any determinate control over where the messages are distributed or stored or archived or made available over the net. It is not a finite thing. If you will take the time to understand what has been told to you, you will be much enlightened and maybe it will help you in avoiding mistakes in the future. Please don't continue to maintain your ignorance and use it to shift blame to others. It will just make things more difficult for yourself and compromise your own credibility. ////jerry > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Peter Risdon" <peter@circlesquared.com> > To: "Greg Wilson" <greg@seopa.com> > Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> > Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 8:32 PM > Subject: Re: Advertising? > > > > Greg Wilson wrote: > > > > > >http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-April/001602.html > > > >http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-April/001781.html > > > > > >Hi > > > > > >I reference these two documents, where you have publish my private > correspondance. > > > > > This was obviously inadvertent, but as has been pointed out you mailed a > > mailing list, not an individual, and so your correspondence has never > > been private.
