Those kind of comments are not welcome on this list.
When a poster violates the posting policy, it is customary to _politely_
direct him/her to a reference regarding the proper policy, i.e.
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html
Then something has changed. So often flames start by a user simply
asking a question that had he/she simply searched the list - would have
found the answer covered many times over.
This is really no different then users that top post.
Sorry folks, I'm not the touchy-feely type.
Choose your verbiage - I call it as I see it.
Can you then at least please refrain from irritating other users, even if in
your eyes they're less intelligent than you? I'd assume you know how to use
the delete key.

line
Those kind of comments are not welcome on this list.
Maybe he was having a bad day and took one too many irritations like
that to heart; I sometimes don't bother replying to top posters anymore
in my emails or to lists just because it's irritating to me to keep
going through jumbled headers and sorting crap out to get an actual
idea of what is going on in an email. Eventually I just pop it into
the bit bucket...if it's important, they'll email again with hopefully
a new email that's clean and free of crap.
Same with people that use reply-to to post their new message
topics...so it gets threaded under a different subject that has NOTHING
to do with the actual topic at hand. So they screw up the threading.
AAARGH
then again, I break the 72-character wrapping. Other people are really
miffed at that in this list. I wish someone would fix the Unix mailers
to see this properly, because I'm using Mail.app and it's stupid after
being drilled so often not to hit enter periodically for word
processing. Mail.app does put in wrapping, but it's using a type of
word wrapping that is configurable...something from qualcomm, I want to
say?...where messages would be dynamically wrapped to be more readable
on variable display sizes. Something about messages showing up
properly in email editors on PCs to small displays like those on PDA's
and cellphones. If the mailer interprets this properly, every
quotation is properly indented regardless of the size of the window.
So I irritate people in that regard.
When everyone who emails me stops top posting and screwing up the
threading or doing anything else to irritate my wonderful online
experience, I'll manually wrap lines at 72 characters.
Anyway, yeah, it was wrong to be so harsh...but maybe he had *some*
justification in mind at the time.
If you want to be rude to people, please don't associate yourself with
FreeBSD when you do it.
Yeah...take it to an advocacy forum! :-)
As to the OP's question, look at wine (http://www.winehq.com) ...
although
I've never had much success with it, that's what it's supposed to do.
Try using vmware, or QEMU. Or Plex86, or whatever they're calling that
project now. VM's tended to work much better for running Windows
software than WINE has worked for me, but that's just my experience.

So often flames start by a user simply asking a question that had he/she simply searched the list - would have found the answer covered many times over. No. Nothing has changed. The official list policy has ALWAYS been to be polite. And people have ALWAYS violated that policy.

This list can get VERY frustrating at times ... since it's not moderated, people say a lot of things, but that doesn't mean it's OK. It just means that nobody's going to get banned from the list because they have a bad day. On top of that, I'm pointing out ... once again, that OFFICIAL LIST POLICY is posted at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html (there is a copy of this on www.freebsd.org, but I don't feel like searching for it right now) and I quote: ... If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like. This is really no different then users that top post. Sorry folks, I'm not the touchy-feely type. Choose your verbiage - I call it as I see it. I don't really care what type you are. If you continually make rude remarks to new posters, I will email postmaster@ with a corpus of your rudeness, and request that you be banned on the basis that it's against list policy. As I said, we all have bad days, I'm no exception. But admit that you're having a bad day, apologize for it and move on. If you can't do that, you should follow grog's advice and don't answer. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One of the most pleasant things about FreeBSD mailing lists and the community as a whole is that you have the feeling that you are talking to adult human beings you share an interest / preference in operating system / profession / etc. with. And I heared a lot of people support my opinion, esp. from newbies trying FreeBSD for the first time. The professional and polite style here has become rare in today's internet, where every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he needs to be kewl or insulting.
