Erm, haven't we been here with you before? I can even replay the script from heart: 1. Richard comes up with some total crack-smoking idea that only he and a few people hanging around the men's room at grand central station appear to like. 2. Richard demands that this idea be implemented for everyone, both for the men's room crowd and everyone who's passing through grand central on their way to somewhere else. 3. Richard is told to prove and adequately demonstrate the genuine medical merits of smoking crack if he wants something like this to happen since the other folks always thought it was bad for you and besides, they're too busy to take up new and expensive vices. 4. Richard agrees to do so ONLY on the condition that everyone buy crack pipes and an ample supply of crack in advance, just on the off-chance that he's proven right about its benefits. 5. People refuse to do any such thing and the proposal collapses. 6. Go to step 1. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
