Am I the only one annoyed by the monthly PJ soap-operas. It seems that
we get a ridiculous installment from this guy who bites off more than
he can chew and then complains that it's too big every full (or is it
fool) moon (28 day cycle . . . sorry obvious,stupid joke).

The patience he gets from folks on this list should be commended, but
questioned. In what sense is the community benefited from the dramatic
"life-story" of an ungrateful novice? This guy puts forth his
problem(s) only to update the list at every small/backward step and
then ultimately offer something offensive such that the devs can't
speak English.

He needs to work things out before blogging on
freebsd-questions at .

IMHO ;-)
