Oh, well, yes I can sometimes wish me the days ten years ago, back when
the net was a pleasent professionel place to be...

Now we are getting somewhere, I would gladly pay for the things I use,
but ONLY for the things I use. If the ISP's disn't have to buy
mega lines to support adds and pictures of naked people, we could all
be sisseling around on the net, for almost no money :)

Gimme a break!! If I had that attitude I would hardly spend the better
part of my free time doing FreeBSD for free, would I ??
Geeeze...
I'm not on -chat, so I will not see any followups there, besides we
are not going to agree on this anyways..
I'm still supporting junkbuster and anything like it, and it will stay
in the ports collection, and for all I care it can be advertized
on the front cover of the CD's (it would make a hell of a selling
point I tell you).
Period. End of story.
