I must say I find Chad's post very reasonable and worth reading. When 
somone refers to me as a dinosaur I would also be a little offended. 
Hence, I understand Chad's reaction to that statement of yours.
If your read his posts carefully you have to admid they are well thought 
of, at least that's my feeling. Mind you, I might have hold myself back 
of what Chad said (uou stupid asshole). I would like to think I would 
have controlled my anger ;-)

That might be true. But I can't see how digging in Windows registry can 
be compared by editing a few simple textfiles the way UNIX had always 
worked. Althoudh the network settings might actually be in this registry 
setting it simply is not the same as a /etc/network file. Or on freebsd 
a etc/rc.conf

> You have serious mental health issues Chad. Get help!

This might also be taken offensively. You are no shrink. why make such 
remarks. Let's stop this tone of arguments please. And going back on the 
subject of network managers I have to agree I too hate these tools from 
the moment they took over the manual way of setting things. Even good 
old solaris now has this on by *default*. Horrible (imho).
