Then mark your reply as being off topic because in context it was clearly
reference to email etiquette on FreeBSD (that is the subject of the thread
after all).   It seems you and Chris are doing everything possible to
confuse the hell out of the entire thread and then one someone *appears* to
reply out of context you use that as some kind of proof of your argument.
That is just dirty tactics.
