Personally, I think that "we" would like to hear fewer complaints about how "un-stable" things are, and receive more _help_ in resolving whatever issues are being brought up. I'm not quite sure who everyone out there thinks is doing the work here. FreeBSD is developed and maintained by a group of volunteers, and the best, nay the only way to encourage them is helping. Whining is not, never has been, and never will be useful. Please consider how you can direct your efforts towards helping the Project. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
