Nobody claimed that. Maybe you're just a bit too paranoid...? In your first posting you said that overclocking is not recommended (which is true, although this often causes flamewars, too). Then I replied that posting anonymously is not recommended either (which is also true). >> I've been using my real name for years since I begun going on the >> Internet. I've never seen a reason not to. Same here. It's not _that_ long, though (9 years, I think). > Maybe you haven't read about the financial ruin of victims of identity > theft? I've read about paranoia. 99% of the posters in these lists use their real name, and I'de be surprised if anyone of them is a victim of "identity theft". I'm under the impression that you're in the wrong movie... > "LinSUX is only free if your time is worthless" That signature _hurts_ the FreeBSD project. Whether you like it or not, or whether I like it or not, that's not the point. BTW, you should fix your mail client, it has ignored the "Reply-To" in my first reply on this issue.
