On Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:52:49 +0200 Polytropon articulated: > There isn't much you can invent on a hammer. :-) Absolutely true. However, as Abraham Maslow said in 1966, "It is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail." This sort of tunnel vision, at least in my opinion, has infected the *BSD community in general. They look at a problem and then, rather than finding a solution, find someone to blame. My my late father was so fond of saying when someone complained, "It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness." -- Jerry ✌ jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
