I was going to say something along these same lines ... but to me this message, as well, comes off a bit harsh. I understand Paul's point even if I found the initial tone abrasive. But I know a lot of context is lost when conversations are down-converted to keystrokes. Perhaps Paul can understand why, for a native southerner, seeing that kind of Subject: line can be demotivating, especially in the light of how hard it has been in the past to make such large changes to the infrastructure. Please remember folks: one person's "blowing off steam" can lead to another person's "why do I bother trying to fix things anyways." mcl _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
