I was going to let this go, but not now. My opinion is just one data point on a whole range of points about stability. Just because I don't take the time to re-submit the same PR doesn't mean I don't help. I've offered to help with many things in the FreeBSD community, they just aren't code related. My coding skills aren't on par with anything written for FreeBSD today. I volunteered to call Aureal to get sound drivers, and offered Cameron Grant any sound board he wanted, if it would help him develop drivers for it. I called Aureal, and some of the other sound chip vendors, to get an SDK that an open source OS could use. I don't have US$10,000 to volunteer to a project so they can get an SDK, sorry. I've learned my lesson, any digression from the norm in BSD land is just bad. God forbid someone raise a flag that everything isn't as smooth as is believed. Next time, I'll just keep my mouth shut. Jeez. -- | Andy | e-mail | web | | | andy@lewman.com | www.lewman.com | In Corning, Iowa, it's a misdemeanor for a man to ask his wife to ride in any motor vehicle.
