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.

You assume too much. 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)
