this way - nobody should write anyone. there is always a line that missed 
- completely changes a sense of sentence.

You are right. But do you try to say that we should think about 
consequences for potential sponsoring every word we say?!

Is FreeBSD FREE SOFTWARE or commercial product that's selling some way?

If first - then we should not care how much more/less money people will 
pay as a gift every time we post.

If second - then please Owners declare it clearly and just add statement 
about this.

Anyway - Do users of any commercial product support list must think if 
their words will lower the selling of the product? i don't think so.


But if i'm not right - please add on FreeBSD webpage/mailing list info
