Im not 100% sure this is the right place to mention this, but as someone who doesnt spend much time on irc, and went there finding no answer to their question , but many people with simple questions who could be helped, I spend most of my time with FreeBSD porting/developing software , and dont have much trouble fixing a port which is marked as broken. I realize the FreeBSD project probably doesnt have responsibiltiy for #freebsd on efnet , which garners more sarcastic and demoralizing comments to stupid questions in which "man blech" would be much more helpful. but even irc.freebsd.org is much the same. Personally I dont really need the help, found what i wanted in the handbook shortly after asking on EFnet #freebsd and seeing the responses. God I feel guilty and moronic after asking, and finding it in the handbook. My main thing is if there is going to be a irc.freebsd.org, the freebsd.org project should distance itself from any other irc networks and jerks who could be quiet as opposed to offering sarcastic insults shouldn't be on irc.freebsd.org#freebsd like I said to a few on EFnet, I have never used linux but i bet a small part of its popularity is that you can go on #linux and not feel belittled and small-minded for asking what may be a simple question to some. Despite this I'm not switching from FreeBSD I find it more intelligently arranged than our solaris and linux machines, I am just commenting on my experience on irc. thanks, whatever. --- E-Mail: Luke <lh@aus.org> Sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
