Hi, Shawn.

I understand that, and I'm not trying to tell people how they should
talk on a mailing list.  But to me documentation for a project like
OpenBSD is different.  It's not individual people talking however they
like to talk.  It's well-written text intended for users to read to
understand some part of the OpenBSD operating system.  I don't know of
other OpenBSD user-facing documentation (i.e. website, man pages, etc.)
that has off-color (at least to me) content.

Thanks,

Lewis
