Re: RANT: write-only mailing-lists ?



I just installed OpenBSD for the first time today. I can't wait for 2.9 to
come out so I can try to upgrade it from source and post all my problems.
That's the main reason I switched to OpenBSD; I heard everyone on the
mailing lists has charming, sparkly personalities.
