It is important to warn people who are still using older releases of FreeBSD of security problems in them, even if they are not officially "supported." There are many people out there who use and depend on them. It is mean-spirited of you, IMHO, to lobby to cut those people off. >My second rant is, have you ever noticed WHENEVER you write into the list its ALWAYS >the longest current thread running within a VERY short time? Not always. However, I like to think that when it does happen it is usually because the issues I mention are important. Of course, some people also seem to enjoy flaming me, as you are doing here. >Do you think this is >because of your genius in the BSD OS field?
