It's confirmable by browsing to here: http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html The webpage lacks does not give any reasoning whatsoever for that. Immediately I wondered if Postmaster was involved. The same was not found by me in the bugs, and www, mailing lists. -- To provide the grounds of the reasoning for this personal problem can now be supplied to me by any committer and member of the FreeBSD and any member of a mailing list since I announce this: Everyone subscribed to any freebsd.org mailing list is authorised by me to get answers from Mr Bresler. The interpretation that has the best likelihood of accessing data about me from the postmaster is the interpretation to be taken (I say now). I sent 6 messages off to Mr Bresler and so far I only got one back and it checked my e-mail address which was done in October yet the request was about August 2002. The questions might not have been understand despite their simplicity and the silence of the postmaster is not allowing me to see that. -- I note that a Mr Neil Blakey-Milner was communicating with me privately. Nothing interesting. I recall him saying he was important and a committer. Nothing could be more clarifying than a decision to purge me from FreeBSD (presumably that means, just the mailing lists), for no reason except that I kept writing to explain that I must know the grounds, and the reasoning, for the last purge operation. Purges could be just the start. No reasoning whatsoever (to mimic a style of a manager of another *nix project). --- Can anybody help me here with this question ?. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUEST 16 Mar 2002 On what dates did FreeBSD rely upon tips from spammers advancing a cover story that they were people who suppressed spam ?. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NetBSD and OpenBSD are not blocking my "research@ijs.co.nz" address. They maybe don't take dud tips. That situation: By the way, FreeBSD is not withholding information from me, but instead Mr Bresler has not communicated to me a decision on whether or not the information I asked for, would be made available. So FreeBSD is in the position of not wanting to close this topic. I will not be praising Mr Bresler myself. FreeBSD project staff members. No PR person. Normally a PR person can get the 'no resolution to the dispute' up faster. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributors/staff-who.html Craig Carey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
