So, I guess that means that the original poster can spout off and say that the response contained irrelevant and offensive material if he wants as well. Getting those types of responses is one way that persons (at least some of them who have sufficient perception) learn how to make appropriate and meaningful responses. > As I've said before on this mailing list, freebsd-questions is a public > mailing list that is FREE support.

Pecuniary reward is not the only reason to learn how to make reasonable, meaningful responses that are to the point of the question and to be able to understand the difference. Being able to post responses that are respected in the community is another reward and may occasionally require learning from peoples comments on the quality of the responses. ////jerry > > > This SERVER is > >purpose built > >and runs stable 24/7 as a low volume outbound mail server so > >the performance > >of the NIC is not my primary concern. > > You have no need to justify what your doing to him or to me or to > anybody. > Why bother doing it. > > > Please keep your useless > >comments to > >yourself as they do nothing but waste disk space, CPU time and > >the valuable > >time of people who attempt to help others on this list. > > > > His comments may be useless to you but not to everyone reading. > You don't know what people are looking for when they google the > archives or read this mailing list.
