I am relatively new to OpenBSD, I am merely a user, and I read the misc@ list always. I do my homework mostly before posting/asking for doubts, and IMHO, OpenBSD folks have been the most kind and helpful till now. The S/N ratio on these lists is "very-high" (unless folks like RMS topple it). The learning method here is very difficult - you do your homework, and expect no handholding at all. For people having "very less patience", and who wish to always be spoon fed, and who whine without offering a solution (at least I did not see it on misc@), there are many Linux mailing lists around. Not OpenBSD for sure. Now please, if you feel something is not working, or broken, or needs improvement - send a patch to tech@, and if its worth it will be accepted (no I haven't submitted yet a single patch, heck, I don't even know 0.5% of OBSD source code. But I am learning, and I will take my own time). Are you upset because: - your patches were not accepted - RMS paid you to topple the S/N ratio one more time - you don't get any handholding from the devs - reason unknown to me (tick one, then have a cup of coffee, take a walk in the woods, and come back). If you still don't like OpenBSD and are totally fed up with it, DON'T USE IT. -Amarendra
