[Arto Pekkanen]

I have to interject here that this Andrei -person in NO WAY represents 
FreeBSD project, the people developing for it or the general attitude of 
the community.

He is just a single luser who had a serious case of sociopathic 
malfunction, and we can all agree that he should just quiet down and 
leave this discussion.

As you see from other replies, most FreeBSD users interested in the 
graphics stack are really constructive and helpful, and greatly 
appreciate the work Mr. Macy has done for the project!

Just pointing these things out.
