Kris, Your response is so indicative of the many reasons why so many people do not volunteer to help out on FreeBSD or any other open-source project. The 'we' I refer to is the community, of course. However, in FreeBSD the community seems to be who a few self-designated despots say who its members are, all others are considered free-loaders and trouble makers. I have never, in all my years of UNIX experience, seen such in-fighting and bickering as I have on these lists. Please, do me and everyone else a favor, and don't reply unless you have something useful or constructive to say. I think I'll just sit back and become a freeloader. john... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kris Kennaway" <kris@FreeBSD.org> To: "John Howie" <JHowie@msn.com> Cc: "Poul-Henning Kamp" <phk@critter.freebsd.dk>; "James Wyatt" <jwyatt@rwsystems.net>; "Brett Glass" <brett@lariat.org>; "Chris D .
