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 <misc at openbsd.org> and 
<freebsd-questions at 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 
<200503202227.j2KMRUR6010217 at cvs.openbsd.org>-- in which he asserts 
that this discussion "is entirely useful", and that:

I don't read <misc at openbsd.org>, 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.
