Some problems can indeed be solved by somebody going "CHARGE!" and then running into the machine gun fire with a cheering group of soldiers following them. More often than not, however, the person yelling CHARGE! ends up running onto the battlefield alone while everyone else hides in their foxholes and thinks "boy, is HE brave! I sure hope he manages to knock out that gun before I have to stick my head up again!" > I do hear a rising amount of irritation from you, Jordan, about a lot of > this. If you had to deal with the amount of carping I've dealt with from those who also tend to run away and hide at the first sign of trouble, you'd be irritated too. I also don't ask for much more than people coming face-to-face with reality and realizing that we're not in an ideal world and have neither ideal generals or ideal soldiers on this particular battlefield. It really shouldn't be that much to ask. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
