I am making no jokes. Also note that I was not speaking to you, so why 
do you get in the middle of every one elses business?

I was not the person who went off topic, perhaps you should read back to 
the beginning on this thread where Aryeh began to bring his "project" 
back into this topic.

I have no need to gain credibility, those who know me know exactly how 
"credible" I am. those who dont, I could care less what they think. This 
includes you sir.

I am not trolling, If I didnt know any better, I'd say that you are the

Thats rediculous, certainly your 40+ years in IT would have discovered 
this long before posting such useless comments.

I rarely post on -ports anymore, due to the lack of order and respect 
for those who actually DO SOMETHING, and not just bitch and moan about 
things that should be done.

This thread is useless, as there is no actual solutions attached.. If 
you want to bitch and moan about how things should get done on freebsd, 
then move it to -chat, theres plenty of trolls to feed there.
