	what make you think I mispelled the words.


: 	   Terry can the closest to a real answer, but

: Get a grammar checker too, while you're at the store, or possibly just
: a book to copy sentence structure out of.
:
	Structure... is that like the stuff I'm supposed
	to see in source code?


: 	   To be plain and truthful, I don't think the
: 	   partition editor had that much to do with it,

: So why did you bring it up?
:
	My two cents are my two cents.


: 	   What will FreeBSD do?

: 	   That depends, if they continue to be ignorant
: 	   (and I'm not including everyone in this statement)
: 	   they will also draw a nice following,,,,
: 	   circa Netbsd style.....

: Jesus, what are you talking about?  Do you mean to imply by this that
: one of us should embark on an African safari in search of this

: imply some degree of ignorance? 
:
	Boy.. you got that exactly correct.


: I'm especially puzzled by your assertion
: that ignorance could be some sort of attraction ("if they continue to be
: ignorant [...] they will also draw a nice following,,,[sic]").  If that's
: true, then many of us have terrific careers in politics ahead of us.
:
	Nothing is more stranger than the truth.


: In any case, if there's something truly useful we're missing out on,
: by all means download it to freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/incoming and tell
: us!  That would be the _USEFUL_ thing to do!
:

	NO prob... 


: 	   Open mouth insert foot.... that's my two cents.

: G'wan!  I'm sure you can get both of them in there! :-)
:
	Seems like I got your feet in also to boot...
	(no pub intended.)
