You need to begin speaking for yourself rather than that reluctant expert character called Most People. You seem to do quite well working out issues that you encounter in your work, but everytime you start quoting this Most People guy you seem to get lost in the weeds. Let Most People speak for himself and deal with his own problems. FreeBSD has done quite well and developed an excellent product when people applied themselves to create solutions for the problems they were actually having and allowed Most People to do the same with his issues. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
