Did you not notice that this person lives in a former Eastern Block country? Unless you've been in hiding, you would know that the cost of electronics of any sort (when they are actually available) are far beyond the reach of the "average citizen". I doubt very seriously, due to the general lack of up to date technology in a lot of these countries, that anyone who would be interested in the advancement of FreeBSD would be in a possition to afford a laptop. I think the fact that Bill asked for this person is honorable. If I had a laptop to spare, which I don't, as I don't even have one for myself, it would not phase me to donate it for such a cause. As for not belonging on this list, your comment about what does and doesn't belong has caused far more disruption than his original post. Perhaps you should have sent your opion to him only?
