The poster simply needed an explanation of what free means in this context; and that buying the set from a shop is a) a convenience measure and b) contributes towards funding FreeBSD. He/She can also be pointed at the other methods of obtaining FreeBSD (which also inevitably involve some expense, even if it is the cost of a CD). And the attack on poor grammar is cacky. If the list were moderated on the correctness of the english used then it would be a *very* low-volume list and many of the people whose posts were moderated-out could well turn out to be native english speakers. I speak as one who has occasionally let off a "bad-day stream of vitriol", and have always regretted it. I am now a reformed character :) -- Regards Cliff Sarginson -- <csfbsd@raggedclown.net> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
