well be amazed.  Your reply is one more than I received with a serious
subject header.  Do people here hit <d> for all messages that don't contain
the words "linux" or "plug and play" coz my short 72 hours on the list seem

You are probably right, my TCP/IP stack has been more than a little ornery
of late.  Me and the rest of the kernel have been talking to it regarding the 
shocking attitude problem exhibited recently.  The damn thing just has no 
respect for authority.  Anyways someone should give it a good talking to
before it starts leading to faceless DoS attacks.

Or maybe the guys at FreeBSD who can answer the question don't even read
this list coz of the low SNR.

oh well.
