Many things you mention in your questions could have been answered by simply telling you to RTFM or to read the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook . But there are always people around who are kind enough and try to help you with your problems and questions, any yet I've never seen you just posting a simple "Thanks for your replies" or "Thanks for your advice". Instead you have a writing style that surely makes a lot of people think that your just plain arrogant and ignorant. Although you don't seem to be a newbie or something like that, you seem to tend to blame everyone here for the problems you have with your machine and OS (Windows NT vs Open source, that mysterious reboot at night, etc) in a way which makes me wonder why, (and happy that), there has not been a signle person really starting to curse. But you keep pushing it anyhow. Noone here is forced to deal with your problems, yet this is supposed to be a community where we all should be politely and helpful to each other. Paradise, hm? However, I see so much aggression in your posts and particularily in your replies that I wonder why the hell you are wasting your and our time with those (not to speak from bandwidth, disk space and oxygen). We're not responsible for your problems, but your texts seem to just imply that and nothing else. So my advice to you would be to be thankful that there's such a thing like this list (and the others you are posting to) and thankful for it's people. Changing the way you ask or answer wouldn't be a bad idea either. regards -- Andreas "ant" Ntaflos ntaflos.andreas@gmx.net Vienna, AUSTRIA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
