That's not argument, and my words are logical consequences from your words,
and you didn't refute. Still, my statements after, which you skipped (again!
you are again skipping the actual truth which discomforts you!), are valid:
you say that people who want to know the future or help the Project must go
places such as current@, and official FreeBSD docs say that they don't. Thus
you are still wrong.

But you've failed to hold constructive discussion for 4 RTTs. No logic in
reasons, no respect to POVs other than yours -> no hope to prove you something
correctly as it is done in science and should be in FreeBSD mail lists. Just
accusements. Sad.

I give up.
