I'm not familiar with portmanager or portmaster. I use portupgrade and the 
standard pkg-* and ports' "make foo" utilities but I don't think that this is 
a proper way to talk about a tool that someone has made to make life easier 
maybe not for me and not for you, but evidently for many other FreeBSD users. 

If your comment would contain a lot of technical complaints and perhaps fixes, 
then it would be relevant, but right now it's just drivel. If someone would 
talk in such a way about kbtv without providing any substance or improvements 
I would be very angry and rightfully so. So I feel I have to support the 
author/maintainer of portmanager here.
