If you construct a stupid and unrealistic situation, you should not be disappointed with the answer you receive. I don't know what kind of fantasy world you live in, but it's been my experience that in the real world you always have more information than this. > But they insist on buying something, as I have said, so you must recommend > something. No, you don't. Just because the person who wants to spend their money is being stupid and unrealistic doesn't mean that you are forced in any way to give them any advice at all. This is yet another example of your attempt to apply fundamentally flawed logic to pursue your own personal agenda. Indeed, in this case Mike has gone above and beyond and shown that he would give them the best advice possible, which is that they shouldn't waste their money until they know more about what they want to do. If they want to ignore that advice and buy something anyway, that's their problem. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> H4sICIFgXzsCA2RtYS1zaWcAPVHLbsMwDDvXX0H0kkvbfxiwVw8FCmzAzqqj1F4dy7CdBfn7 Kc6wmyGRFEnvvxiWQoCvqI7RSWTcfGXQNqCUAnfIU+AT8OZ/GCNjRVlH0bKpguJkxiITZqes MxwpSucyDJzXxQEUe/ihgXqJXUXwD9ajB6NHonLmNrUSK9nacHQnH097szO74xFXqtlbT3il wMsBz5cnfCR5cEmci0Rj9u/jqBbPeES1I4PeFBXPUIT1XDSOuutFXylzrQvGyboWstCoQZyP dxX4dLx0eauFe1x9puhoi0Ao1omEJo+BZ6XLVNaVpWiKekxN0VK2VMpmAy+Bk7ZV4SO+p1L/ uErNRS/qH2iFU+iNOtbcmVt9N16lfF7tLv9FXNj8AiyNcOi1AQAA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
