Or to use one of your weapons against you "This is a matter of opinion only" I've been subscribed to this list for quite some time. I've tried to help where I know, I've tried interesting stuff that people discuss here. I've learned more than a few tricks just by watching the threads. Questions and answers that appear here have often inspired me (and given me the info) to write or revise Handbook sections and articles. But as of lately it seems my time is wasted in this fruitless discussion. > > Everything else is about some apps support that just happen to be in > ports - while question are completely non-FreeBSD specific and should > go to this app mailing list. Yes. So please tell me why you are asking Xorg questions here. Surely by your standards this should go to the Xorg mailing list then. And yes, this is you a few threads back: >> Server 1.5.3 also really wants to configure its input devices >> via hald. This is causing some issues with moused and >> /dev/sysmouse.

These are interoperability questions. Nobody here is asking Windows support questions. Not because there are not enough people here that could answer them (me included) but because it is really off topic. > > And will be even less within time, unless moderation will be started. Self moderation is the best discipline. If you feel the "official" FreeBSD lists are not good enough for your taste, you can always run your own. This list is just too much for me to bear at its present state. I will be turning off list delivery for a week, and I hope things will be calm again when I am back. Please all cool down.
