Now, that's a labor of love. Thank you for adding a point which I thought about and then forgot to add. I also wanted to say that I am not necessarily free from guilt either - there are lots of things I could be doing more for not only freebsd but also for some of the other open-source projects that I make money from. I intend to work on rectifying (sp?) this in the near future... - Forrest W.
