Maybe the troll could be persuaded to work on a fix for the alleged problems that it's seeing. It would be far more productive and everyone, I'm sure would be much happier. BTW, I ran across the troll's name and another email address (probably one that doesn't change every 45 days) on a financial forum I was perusing. For a brief moment I was severely tempted to sign the troll up for every spam list that I could Google. Then my conscience kicked in and I remembered that it wouldn't be the right thing to do. Just think of the things I could have accomplished if my parents hadn't raised me with morals. <sigh> Oh well, time to update my email filters again. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
