Hmm, I wonder if the lack of performance, or the unwanted emails were more heaviliy weighted in the decision? If there was any intelligent life on the list you could counter what you call "Trolls" with solid techical arguments. This reminds me of the old bsdi list. A bunch of half-wits who are just happy to belong to something and have other half-wits to correspond with. FreeBSD used to have open discussions between users and developers and it used to be real good. Now it sucks and the developers are detached, off in their own little world. See a pattern? But with a user base from places like gnu-rox.org and makeworld.com, what do you expect I guess? -----Original Message----- From: Xavier Maillard <zedek@gnu-rox.org> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 12:43:35 +0100 Subject: Re: A Riddle On 25 Mar 2005, Chris wrote: > If we're to prove a point to those that name call, are rude, > troll, and all the other recent events, we must do so on our > level.

I totally agree. This plus other things are the reasons why I chose to switch to another OS.
