Whoa!  By way of clarification: 

1) If I had authoritative information why would I bother posing the
question?

2) The source were I ran across the info that prompted my query was
cited in my initial post and present in the email sent out by the
Mailman listserver.  Noting evidence of confusion from some reading via
Jive forum interface I followed up with an explanation.

3) Rather than fan rumor and speculation by posting to
freebsd-questions, a list to which I am not subscribed, I addressed my
query to what I deemed the most appropriate source for an authoritative
answer.  Moreover, in so doing I explicitly qualified the post as
suspect.

4) I do not have, nor have ever had, a gmail address.  To the contrary
my email address is readily apparent in my signature.

I didn't need to, as I already knew the name.  Hence I publicly
acknowledged his reply as more than satisfactory, expressed my
gratitude, and moved on.  I don't really see grounds for directing these
vehement comments my way.  The misinformation has now been identified as
such and nipped in the bud, wh/I would think would be a good thing.

Thank you and have a nice day.
