Excuse me, I've spoken to the original poster of this message and my reply seemed to make perfect sense. I didn't change the subject, I left it as the original. Have YOU ever heard of frigging politeness? Your message came across has rude and blunt. If you have nothing good to say, go and twiddle your thumbs elsewhere. My reply was in context (sure it was hurriedly written but I don't have as much time as some other useless people). Don't bother replying, and I don't care what you have or haven't had to eat or drink. Here ends my subscription to this list. ---------- > From: Jim Bryant <jbryant@unix.tfs.net> > To: Joe Shevland <joe.shevland@horizonti.com> > Cc: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: A small problem... > Date: Thursday, 29 January 1998 16:17 > > In reply: > > Just read your hackers posting... > > > > Unfortunately I can't point you in the right direction but a friend of mine > > has done exactly what you're talking about... although he's not taking > > snapshots I don't think; I believe his version was more a security thing. > > > > However, he's spoken about the comms and application backend thats needed. > > Having said all that, I'll have a chat to him and either provide you with > > an email address tomorrow or let you know how to contact him. > > > > Mail me to remind me if I forget :) > > > > PS.
