I appreciate his work and its certainly valuable to the majority of 386bsd users. But there are still a large number of people out there who don't want to blindly apply his "unofficial- official" patches. I'm collecting posted patches myself and apply them if needed after verifying that they don't break anything else. So please stop this somewhat arrogant and god like behaviour and don't withhold valuable work done by others (i.e. the signal 6 fix). There is no excuse for belittleing Nate like this. - He doesn't deserve it. He has been very generous with his time and effort. You are trying to obligate him to collect patches and distribute the patchkit on your own terms. That's not really fair is it? Rich
