He did not state any such thing, why don't you read what you quote ? I would get rather pissed myself at a group if a high ranking member of that same group told me to "go back to taking medicine" for no logical reason. Ofcourse, you are only doing your best to throw more fuel on the flames. These personal attacks, ranging from suggestions of taking medicine to crawling back under a rock, are way out of line (and in any case, you probably meant back into the cave). Jason Downs posted a somewhat humorous, but obviously not hard enough not to misunderstand hint, that backing out the change is perhaps not the best thing to do. Jordan K. Hubbard replied in a even more humorous tone (which I atleast had a long laugh from), perhaps trying to beat the more flame-oriented people to the reply, seeing what might happen. (if so, a good attempt it was, I don't know why it failed.) So why did it not (publically) end there ? And how on earth can one think there is anything but a collegial hint in Jason's posting ? If he had evil intentions, he would surely have shut up while FreeBSD backed out the changes. He obviously mailed in order to help FreeBSD, since he felt that FreeBSD was better of with the change. > > > Theo: Angry child... Bad Theo, Bad... Bad... > > And blind John. > Yeah.

If you don't want replies, why send mail at all ? It never ceases to amaze me how some people like to make some quick, childish stabs out of the dark, often loaded with personal attacks, and end it with something along the lines of that _they_ are "done", "I'm unsubscribing", "you are in my kill file from now on", etc. Reminds me of the game some kids like to play, ringing the door bell at foreign houses and then running away in hiding.

Well, that does indeed sound very un-childish and professional, Mr. Karl Denninger. Let us all hope that someday, also OpenBSD might aspire to your level of utter proffesionalism. You really make your point in an outstandingly (*outstandingly*) good way, bravo! Best of luck with your kid. -- _ // \X/ -- Michael Shuldman <michaels@ifi.uio.no>
