No, it is because I dont particularly think your posts are worth the 
bandwidth mate.
: Read back the article posted by 386BSD FAQ maintainer.

: I think that at least this should be the attitude of any FAQ maintainer.


His attitude suits me and the majority of the *BSD users just fine.  I 
see nothing wrong with his post.  The damn thread is beat to death, 
frankly it pisses us all off to keep seeing it.

: Now, new users will ask the same question again and again.
: And you harrass them just like the 386BSD FAQ maintainer and yell,
: "leave us alone".  Wouldn't it make *BSD more isolated ?
: I have never heard of "Leave us alone !" in any news group (esp. from an
: FAQ maintainer - BTW, should the FAQ be for such new naive users ?)
: except from Waco's Cults.

The only isolation I would hope to see here is your pathetic little 
wanker arse bottled up and sent to sea.  Go away little man.
