I didn't realize I was acting like a child, simply stating opinion, if you don't like that, tough **** to you as well. I don't think it's a stretch to go to a named channel which to most people would indicate that discussions about FreeBSD happen in (such as #FreeBSD) and ask for specific information which doesn't fall into your "usual newbie questions". But I guess that logic escapes you. You do have one valid point however, I should have read the FAQ and saved myself the time and effort of dealing with the patronage in #FreeBSD and replying to people like you. > I just get sick and tired of this attitude like you have a right > to have people help you and a right to tell other people how to run > their channel.

I don't think I have the "right" to tell anyone to do anything, much less then how to run "their" channel. No matter, I found a decent FreeBSD channel where I can go to have intelligent conversations with people on my wavelength. Have a nice day. (PS: don't bother replying, I really have no wish to continue this discussion with you simply because you cannot carry a conversation on in a civilized manner, any replies >/dev/null) TDF/Chris Wasser To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
