These rapidly >accelerating signs are an indication that Jesus is coming soon (Matthew 24). Sorry, I think there was some misattribution which resulted in understandable confusion as to what relevance the preceeding had to the c.o.3.* newsgroups. The poster, in describing an upcoming and fairly mundane event, was tickled by an irresistable impulse to exaggerate _Just A Little Bit_. To translate: Jesus is coming, but it's Jesus Monroy. His wrath is limited to those who's coding standards do not meet current OSI 9000 requirements, and is not quite of the biblical proportions previously alluded to. The "Exodus" referred to is nothing more than the usual flight from this newsgroup that follows one of his longer articles. I think the bit about "trampling on God's Constitution" alludes to bogus DMA writes on an ISA bus (the ISA bounce buffers being the "constitution" being "trampled"). "Rapidly accelerating signs" refers directly to the rumors that his long-awaited FDC driver is imminent. On behalf of the original poster, I apologise for the confusion.. He's doing an act of contrition right now.. Jordan -- (Jordan K Hubbard) jkh@violet.berkeley.edu, jkh@al.org, jkh@whisker.hubbard.ie FreeBSD Core Team. I *AM* the barnacle-encrusted bivalve of doom.
