Uggghh, yer generalising again Sue... I don't know which IRC server you tried, but it's common knowledge that different IRC networks have different attitudes, my happy go-along style didn't match EFNet (too 'l33t in my opinion) and DALNet (too restrictive in some ways), so I ended up on Undernet and have to say that the channels I frequent there are some of the friendliest I know... But to step out of the IRC discussion again, the mailinglists aren't always that helpful as well. It's the attitudes of the posters than designate the tone of conversation, and on some lists (not here) it can be worse than IRC if I may judge the scale on your citation above. --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven join #FreeBSD on Undernet asmodai(at)wxs.nl Time is merely a residue of Reality...
