Point of fact: I've never posted an unsolicited message to an OpenBSD list. I'm responding to threads which appear in my inbox because Theo and others have decided to cross-post between <misc@openbsd.org> and <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>. In fact, Theo has started cross-posting additional threads, and he has rejected Tomas Quintero's simple request that he stop changing Subject: headers-- see Message-ID <200503202227.j2KMRUR6010217@cvs.openbsd.org>-- in which he asserts that this discussion "is entirely useful", and that: > > Try and keep your subjects together so I can archive them more easily > > and not be forced to read over more.

I don't read <misc@openbsd.org>, and I'm not the one starting new threads. Your objections to trolling are well-taken, but directed at the wrong person. If you acknowledge these facts, a retraction would be accepted. If you disagree with the facts as presented, I suggest asking a disinterested third-party and gaining a second opinion. -- -Chuck
