What has that to do with the BSD operating system?  Can't you read or
do you choose the newsgroup to post your stuff to at random?

When I subscribe to comp.bugs.4bsd I don't do that to read about bugs
or shortcomings in some Micro$oft trash.  Newsgroup names have a
meaning so please stop your annoying behavior.
