Our decision was based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, ability to read instructions, attention span, probability of sending questions to the list which are answered in the FAQ, and a careful calculation of your likelihood to be annoying and send time-wasting emails to the list. We recommend instead that you apply to become a member of the OpenBSD mailing lists. The OpenBSD community in general is much more welcoming of newcomers and more tolerant of what some of the tougher-minded of our community might term ' brainless morons.' The notable exception to this rule being, of course, our own Papa Smurf, Greg Lehey, whose patience and gentleness with even the most moronic of questions borders on the angelic. We are sorry to inform you of this decision, but we feel that it is in the best interest of our sanity to deny your admission. ps: The cat is away on holiday, so you know what goes on, right?! -Wash Tea Boy -- Odhiambo Washington +++++ For every problem there is a simple solution, and it's always wrong.
