Unfortunately we can't force anyone to use OPTIONS. Yet.

BUt it will take at least a year. --=20 IOnut - Un^d^dregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" "Intellectual Property" is nowhere near as valuable as "Intellect" FreeBSD committer -> itetcu@FreeBSD.org, PGP Key ID 057E9F8B493A297B --Sig_/K//c5RuTwPJRjeUVPgyloeB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk+LQZgACgkQJ7GIuiH/oeXC5ACdGG24TZpV8s6en6GqKPVW/EQL MlUAn1WSMMcHeRBVTeh3BB5GoQH0D1+/ =pR+Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/K//c5RuTwPJRjeUVPgyloeB--
