No doubt you are totally satisfied with your Linux/DOS environment and good luck to you. However if you look back through all the volumes of material you have posted, a fair minded person would come to the inescapable conclusion that most of your postings are indeed misinformation. This is a *bsd newsgroup. The long suffering readers of this group wish to use it to disseminate useful information about *bsd issues. We certainly don't want religious zealots like yourself bombarding us continually, not only with misinformation but also with obvious flame-bait material. Mr Crooks was obviously just as frustrated as I am with your behaviour. At least he was attempting to convey some useful information about how to put you in a kill file. Because of that, it's likely your insults and poor taste, weak jokes were entirely lost on him. Where is there any useful information in your reply?? I'm sure that any person wishing to find useful information about Linux would subscribe to the linux.* groups. There may even be others eager for a conversion experience who would look there as well. I respectfully suggest, therefore, that you restrict your desire to cross- post and confine your oratory to those most eager to receive it. As a final useful suggestion for you, since you obviously regard the *bsd install scripts as somewhat less than satisfactory, how about you write the perfect script for us?? I'm sure we would all appreciate it and so would the hard working core team members who are the ones most maligned by your invective. What's that I hear you say?? Don't know where to start?? You might get it to alpha test by 2015?? Oh Dear, Oh Dear, don't tell me we have another budding jmonroy on our hands. -- Gary Roberts (gary@wcs.uq.edu.au) | Ph: 844 0400 4th Floor, South Bank House, Grey St, South Bank Q4101 | Fx: 844 0444
