You must not have seen the previous discussion on his flow charts.
Apparently, he feels that when you're coordinating development efforts
across the net, it's useful to use flow charts instead of English
specifications (oder Deutsch, or pig-latin, or whatever).  His code, his
choice.  What's the big deal?

Fine.  Why bother posting that, though.  All it does is continue the
antagonistic thread.  This is allegedly a newsgroup for discussion of
386BSD development.  I've redirected followups to a newsgroup that
recently appeared here, but seems to have some relevance to most of Mr.
Monroy's posts.
