Now, he runs just about every os except free and open. as others have already pointed out, this happens in just about every IRC "community". a project's "community" extends beyond IRC. i've known a lot of very helpful BSD gurus. sure, they may shout "RTFM" if you ask a question on the first page of the handbook, but who wouldn't? the point is, IRC is IRC and has very little to do with the integrity of... anything. especially FreeBSD. if you really base your critical operations decisions on "touchy feely" IRC encounters... well, i'll just continue laughing to myself. -mrh -- From: "Spam Catcher" <spam-catcher@adept.org> To: spam-catcher@adept.org Do NOT send email to the address listed above or you will be added to a blacklist!
