Lets please stop feeding this troll. I'll grant him that his bait is cleverly constructed but that doesn't give him the right to degrade a vital discussion to ad hominem attacks, rhetorical nitpicking and all-out bickering. Nor does it give him the right to shit on the misc list. Trolls are not interested in understanding the opposite party's point of view or resolving outstanding questions, they're interested in scoring points and keeping you occupied -- like in somebody's sig here, it's like mud-wrestling a pig: You both get dirty but the pig enjoys it.
Point of fact: I've never posted an unsolicited message to an OpenBSD list. I'm responding to threads which appear in my inbox because Theo and others have decided to cross-post between <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>.
In fact, Theo has started cross-posting additional threads, and he has rejected Tomas Quintero's simple request that he stop changing Subject: headers-- see Message-ID <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>-- in which he asserts that this discussion "is entirely useful", and that:
> Try and keep your subjects together so I can archive them more easily > and not be forced to read over more. If anything, this sort of email > belongs entirely on your misc lists, not the freebsd lists.
It belongs whereveer there are people who care about being able to have drivers for their hardware.
I don't read <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and I'm not the one starting new threads.
Your objections to trolling are well-taken, but directed at the wrong person.
If you acknowledge these facts, a retraction would be accepted. If you disagree with the facts as presented, I suggest asking a disinterested third-party and gaining a second opinion.
