(I rather >think of a promise to stop this kind of postings in future, not of yet >another argumentation war.) Perhaps if you define the "kind" of posting that you're talking about? Ones that Nate doesnt like? Should I clear all of my postings with him before forwarding them to the list? I think that the fact that FreeBSDs (poor) dial-in capabilities are perhaps the single obstacle to much wider use are an issue for discussion. There are incredible inconsistancies in the "focus" of the core team, and if I'm going to abandon support for BSDI for Freebsd I have to be certain that the situation is workable. There is much discussion on nonsense like magazine articles and "exposure" for FreeBSD....yet there is weeks of discussion on writing drivers for ISDN when the regular modem stuff still doesnt work. It makes little sense to me. I made a "nice" post and no-one responded. Besides...you're free to not respond... the discussion on your reaction to my post is much more of a waste of time than a discussion of whether or not (and why) something as important as multiport hardware drivers are buggy. I think some good came out of it as well...as there seems to be at least 2 people willing to make the driver better and tackle the non-disclosure. What positives do you think will come out of your (and Nate's) discussion of "Dennis' behaviour"?
