Those people don't have to post worldstone ratings either, they can just chatter informally about what they're doing, but if we're going to have a pissing contest then let's do it right. :-) [and there does appear to be a set of folks on this list who are perpetually keen to do this, so let's not get into a debate on the merits of such contents please :)]. And really, for the rest I have to say that the numbers are too meaningless to be useful. So you post your workstone rating without TCL, and Joe posts his without profiled libs, and Harry posts his with Kerberos enabled and what use are the numbers then to me? They're useless since to meaningfully compare them with anything I've now got to go compile my own tree 3 times with these various options set, and I'm as unlikely to do that as your -current users with one box are likely to spam themselves. And if a number has no comparative value, why even bother to communicate it to anyone else? :-) Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
