   Well, it's not any worse than your "unilateral dictator ship" that exposes
itself from time to time.

   It's a two-way street. I find that both of you can be foolishly stubborn at
times. Especially annoying is your "If it's not done the way I say then I'm
outta here" kind of attitude. I guess there is a lot of personal taste involved
in this /etc/rc issue. We have a common goal in FreeBSD: we all want it to
work as well as possible. If there isn't any way to do it without a "sysv"
/etc/rc scheme, then that's what we'll have to do. The way to solve this
issue is by communicating ideas and being willing to accept someone else's if
it better solves the problem. We need more research scientists and fewer
research dictators.

   I personally don't like a zillion rc scripts. It makes changing my
configuration more difficult for me. ...but the whole issue has relatively
low importance and I think the people arguing the issue in a knock-down,
drag-out fashion are being childish.
