OK. I will try to say something "constructive". You seem to think that "clever", useless comments make you look good. As someone who has been working with FreeBSD and the FreeBSD community for a long time, all you really do is make yourself look juvenile, arrogant, and rude. You are a prime example of why many people approaching the FreeBSD community for help claim that we are an arrogant and rude bunch. The information content of your messages approaches zero. Maybe the problem is trivial and obvious to you. Maybe it would be to Ed, if he could spot it. Now, if you have never missed an obvious bug until you asked someone why the code would not work, you are either truly exceptional (along with the adjectives listed above) or have written little or no code of your own. Please either provide reasonable assistance when responding to questions or don't reply at all. No one likes a smart ass, <plonk> -- R.
