Reminders of Katrina all the time are imho absolutely irrelevant and I considered them to be purpose-made. I do have respect=20 for all the work that is being done during these hard times. So should you have respect on other hand on work and time of others, who are willing to give their time and resources to solve your problem. Maybe he was not sitting back quietly, maybe he was with his dying father in hospital. You don't know. So do not make wrong assumptions. > When one is trying, against a background of some urgency, to solve bugs, = and=20 > there is no feed back from the first responder, then those who are=20 > resourceful turn to the appropriate mailing lists.=20 Appropriate mailing lists are meaned by you to be every possible lists th= at contain php and/or freebsd in their name? For example: your mail with query around www/phpbb makefile in freebsd-hackers@ - what the heck has freebsd-hackers@ to do with this mail?

This is absolutely arrogant of you to say that one should drop off from some maillists. This was not his problem but yours. You've spammed. And spammers usually are banned. If you are not able to solve it by yourself and if you are not able to respect others on these lists, then please do consider to outsource these task you are solving to other professional who will think before asking help from others. But as I am reading your mail from Thursday about Stupid working too late.. on freebsd-questions@.. I would give you one advice: get some rest and sleep. You are working under too much stress to be able to handle it and you need to rest obviously. That is my feeling while reading your emails. Please do not feel offended.=20 I apologize to everyone for being too off-topic here. good luck with your efforts, Martin --=20 martin hudec * 421 907 303 393 * corwin@aeternal.net * http://www.aeternal.net "Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible=20 exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws."
