You really are an arrogant prat aren't you. How do you know it's the same
one? Have you asked him? Let me guess.. you're *assuming* aren't you.
That's OK, I understand you want to assume. How about we all just assume
you're somebody we don't want anywhere near this mailing list? It's
supposed to be constructive, and if you can't offer something, as other
people have told you - to be blunt, (and I *mean* blunt) - F**k off. Now.

Wow. I wish I was like you. You must be *so* special to have work that is
that secret. If your employer really doesn't want to contribute to the
Open Source community, why shoud you expect the Open Source community to
contribute to you and your company profiting?

I've watched you in the last few days be incredibly arrogant, incredibly
rude, overly obnoxious, and the conclusion I've come to is that FreeBSD
would be better off without people like you. You employer is obviosuly
going to benefit from FreeBSD, but I suspect that they might want to
employ somebody else to handle that project. I suspect that a .zip of your
mails to this list so far, sent to your employers might possibly assist
them in that decision.

I suspect that the moment your employer and you are both more open to
contributing to the project, you might just *possibly* find the project is
more open to helping you out of a tight spot. If you demand that things
are done for your benefit, and you aren't prepared to offer anything back
rather than your rude, obtuse, arrogant, obnoxious crap, go use another
operating system. Please. No, really. Are you still reading this? Why?

I don't want to see any more of your obnoxious posts, and I suspect that
nobody else on this list is interested in seeing your posts until you have
decided to start being valuable to the project, in the same way you demand
others to become valuable to your project.

I don't assume I'm valuable to this project, neither should you. Perhaps
that's the difference between us.
