Good of you to omit the more obvious reasons. And I'll omit many obvious comments on your poor defense of your ill-mannered, IRC-ish behavior which I've noticed in this and other threads and which helps give BSD it's bad reputation for ill-treatment of question askers. > Btw .. ROFLMAO, is IRC speak for "rolling on the floor laughing my arse > off" .. :) That is a classic form of ridicule on IRC and it deserves censure in freebsd-questions (if not, apparently, in IRC). I don't know what you could have been thinking when you said that it "was not ridicule". Maybe it was an example for us to consider when reading your advice about "engaging your brain". Blast away. I can only hope you'll be more careful in future threads and I'll try to not make a pest of myself by not complaining about such things often.
