You also failed to address most of my points. > > >>Learn to > >>moderate yourselves, this is what "freedom" is all based on, being good > >>to > >>others. > > > >Nonsense.

Artur, it was meant to be ironic :) I haven't got the right to stop top posting no more than you have. And you haven't got the right to excise Hitler's name from FreeBSD material. Don't you see the irony in that? When he banned certain artists on the grounds of "decency" just like you're proposing to do. Just because he was "evil" doesn't mean he and the rest of his henchmen didn't have something interesting to say about the human condition. If you don't believe me, read "Brave New World: Revisited" by A.Huxley. Follow-ups to chat&freebsd.org please. Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html
