I can see that there is maybe one person in the thread who is being obnoxious, but everyone else in the thread is not, showing that the obnoxious behavior is in the minority, not the majority as you imply. Also, IRC is unfortunately full of people who basically have nothing better to do with their time than to be childish. Having spent some time in both #freebsdhelp and #freebsd I can tell you that trying to make those channels be a true help channel is basically a lost cause and is not due to the attitude of the Project as a whole. You are probably much better off on freenode as another poster mentioned or asking your question on questions@. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
