Let me clear something up here:
It appears Bill Swingle or Dave Angulo accidentally snipped the attribution
of the rude reply below. People might easily get the wrong idea.

The message went out to freebsd-questions, and I'm not subscribed to the
list. Therefore I wanted to affirm that Neither I nor ChiFUG had anything to
do with the rudeness in this exchange. For the record, I don't care if
people are rude or stupid or diplomatic geniuses: I want to make it easier
for people to use FreeBSD whoever they are.

I did not get a reply (it turns out that he had a hard disk crash and lost the message).  I sent a followup message and copied freebsd.org because I did not know if the CHicago group was defunct.  I received this extremely rude reply from the person at FreeBSD.

He also did not answer my question as I had obviously already seen the web page he directed me to and had already tried to contact my local group.
