Thanks for fixing it.

Look, you do make some good points.  I'll really try to think of better
ways to achieve the same thing.  I already came to the conclusion that
the 60 second wait is too long.

But it is also a port that is somewhat non-functional.  It doesn't build
with FreeBSD-10.  And recently I tried updating it to version 6.2, and
this looks like it is also going to be problematical.  There are many
issues with it.  That's why I am not in a big hurry to get things fixed.

But I do get your points, and I am listening.

Also, you could have done a spoof post of the same nature.  And then I
would have got the joke, and not become furious.  Stepping on someone
else's port is not a good joke to make.
