I'm actually a little annoyed that bsdvault reproduced comments of mine in their entirety without giving me any credit in that post. Not that what I wrote was particularly brilliant. In fact, apart from the principle of the matter I'd probably rather those words weren't attributed to me. But still, its the principle. Anyway, what's the deal with freebsd-stable suddenly getting invaded by rejects from alt.syntax.tactical? This "law student" certain needs to take a few more classes on how to write a c+d.
