But why did you do that? My posting was more stupid than clever and I'm sorry I posted it. I spent five minutes thinking about why people don't document their work. Those thoughts overloaded my weak brain and I decided that there must be some good in not documenting it and I came up with my idea. It sounded so wonderful at that time, that I hurried to share it with others :-) Kind people simply pressed 'D' in their pines but some cruel souls still want to punish me :-( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
