So: - it's fine here to ask about mysql5 or mysql6 as it is normal view of FreeBSD. - it's not fine here to ask about sponsoring as it's not normal (and any) use of FreeBSD. - it's fine both to ask here about how to switch from windows, and presenting my point of view about this idea. I think we finally agree, So i will subscribe to FreeBSD-hackers, but with some fear. i don't classify myself as a FreeBSD-hacker. I understand C and can code, but everytime i like to do even smallest modification in kernel it's quite time consuming, as it's really very complex amount of code. > >> best with moderation BUT EVEN WITHOUT, but with clearly defined rules >> on webpage it could be efficient. > > Let's make a test case: please compare your emails with the rules and > suggestions in above two articles. Already did. And until we started to argue about moderation, it's mostly compliant. Then - it was not. For mostly two reasons. First - because i was attacked when presenting my opinion, just because it was not "mainstream" (but not aggressive). Second - after it continued i wanted You to start moderation. > > We spend a few hours per day *working* on improving FreeBSD, doing also > moderating is just to much. First - thank you very much for this. I'm a happy user of YOUR WORK, and i wish you will keep this as good as now in future, as there is no other unix that i don't consider crap today. i think i could find more people if you decide to start moderation. Whatever this people personal preferences are - won't matter as they would be just executors of rules defined by YOU. Just please contact me and tell beforehand, i will start asking people privately, having timezones in mind. So you will not need any extra work. > Besides, we expect people to behave intelligently and politely.

Such language is used on special cases like this. So please replace this words with other with the same meaning :)
