The problem is you did not send the email to the developers of FreeBSD, nor Walnut Creek, the primary distributor, but to a mailing list designed to answer users' questions about FreeBSD. This list is populated by a large number of new users and a few experienced users to help the new people, but is not (primarily) populated by the core group of developers due to the low signal to noise ratio. Your email would have been better sent to freebsd-core or at least freebsd-advocacy. The -core address would have gotten you the core group of developers. At this point, I would recommend you contact Jordan Hubbard directly at jkh@freebsd.org. I'm sorry this occurred - as with anything, you don't always get represented well by users. This user is not officially associated with the FreeBSD core team and I would hope that you don't hold it against us (not that I'm any more officially associated than he was - I am however associated w/ Daemon News, a BSD ezine and have contributed work to the FreeBSD project).
