Perhaps I'm simply being too practical minded here, but I completely fail to see why this poster was compelled to send us a message which: A) Contained none of the actual TECHNICAL DETAILS of his problem which are so important to diagnosing such things. B) Substituted said details for a wholly unnecessary diatribe on the consequences of not providing said support in FreeBSD. In order to expedite attention from our wholly volunteer-driven technical support organization here, please try to keep PRs technically relevant and save any temptations to pound the pulpit strictly for church and other non-engineering related assocations. Such content is neither relevant to the PR system nor helpful in actually doing anything tangible about addressing the issues you're attempting to raise. Thank you.
