I'm sure that this is extremely important to you folks, but I'm 
really bored.  My interest is in learning about FreeBSD, and you really
are not helping me.

Sorry for 'sounding off'.

: There's some understandable confusion going on here.  Jason changed
: his mind, and didn't approve any of those posts; they didn't go to the
: list.  (He decided they didn't fit the charter of the group.)  The
: word "prick" hasn't appeared on port-i386 this month.

: I was confused also; Charles thought Goerzen's message went to the
: list without hitting the moderation filter, but in reality Goerzen's
: message never hit port-i386 at all.

: The following is according to Jason, who would know:

: 	Messages that did make it to port-i386:

: 		Theo's "I fixed 20 security bugs in OpenBSD"

: 	Messages that were bounced and never went to port-i386:

: 		Jason Thorpe's "care to share your findings?"
: 		Theo's refusal
: 		Goerzen's flame of Theo
: 		Theo's reply to Goerzen
