You continue to disregard the simple fact that the Usenet cabal won't allow this. They simply will not allow comp.unix.bsd and comp.os.bsd to exist at the same time. Period. Call them stupid -- many have -- but I tried at the outset to get that and they declined to post the RFD until I did things their way. >Yes, it's a stupid idea.

Sometimes it's better to do something, even if there are things wrong with it, than nothing, and I think this is one of those times. -- Kaleb KEITHLEY
