This mailing list is for technical questions, not discussions. To quote the rules to which you agreed when you subscribed (see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html): Rules of the road: * The topic of any posting should adhere to the basic charter of the list it is posted to, e.g. if the list is about technical issues then your posting should contain technical discussion. Ongoing irrelevant chatter or flaming only detracts from the value of the mailing list for everyone on it and will not be tolerated. For free-form discussion on no particular topic, the FreeBSD chat mailing list is freely available and should be used instead. * Personal attacks and profanity (in the context of an argument) are not allowed, and that includes users and developers alike. Gross breaches of netiquette, like excerpting or reposting private mail when permission to do so was not and would not be forthcoming, are frowned upon but not specifically enforced. However, there are also very few cases where such content would fit within the charter of a list and it would therefore probably rate a warning (or ban) on that basis alone. Please don't discuss off-topic topics here. Please stop now, not after Yet Another Opinion. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
