All I end up with is email saying I am all ready subscribed and someone is trying to add me again. I was originally removed do to bounced messages according to the original notice. What I don't understand is why all the other FreeBSD mail lists I subscribe to never give any trouble. This is my second e-mail on this subject, please do not reply with lame suggestions as I am done being insulted, fix it if you are able, or ignore this message if you wish, this message is really more of as fair well message than a request for assistance anyways. If who ever receives this letter is unwilling to manually add me to the list so be it, lately I am getting pretty fed up with with you FreeBSD folks anyways. I've been using this operating system since the early 90's and until recently you FreeBSD people have been wonderful. What changed? Its really disappointing to see a good thing come to an end but I am ready to give Linux a test run. Just breaks my heart to toss years of FreeBSD experience into the waste bucket but I am seeing no other options. -Mike PS. Sorry to be so negative, but I have tried everything I can think of to help you folks out, you turn down every offer, or mock them, or offer lame and insulting suggestions. When I point out a real problem to you it is either ignored or mocked, and finally when I offer a port that may actually help FreeBSD be easier for new people to use it just sits there, week after week never even being looked at. Maybe there is just a bad batch of folks at FreeBSD right now who will be gone in a few years, I sure hope so, this operating system is too good to be supported the way it has been lately.
