Re: Request for a new list: trolling
Because answering a question requires knowledge, experience, and patience. Now I believe there's a difference between a question and a KLB demanding answers and rainbows. What I find amusing is that a majority of the people with an OpenBSD superiority complex don't know heads or tails of its actual power. There are exceptions on both sides, but let's draw a line of distinction between fanboy and guru.

Every message is a troll... for instance, "smalltalk" is a programming language, and a very important one at that. So call the list Trolling, please.

It could be just that people need to let off steam once in a while and have some fun rather then being all serious. Basically creating an OpenBSD "playground" and "letting the animals out of the zoo for a while" so to speak would be a good idea. My suggestion: We create a new list, eg. "trolling" or "smalltalk" where other users can discuss about senseless questions. misc (miscellaneous) sounds perfect for this: might be better to create a legitimate questi...@openbsd.org list - like we do on FreeBSD, that way people could kinda separate things more clearly Actually as a FreeBSD user for round 3+ years now I'm pretty much signed up to all non-devel based FBSD lists as they all come in useful for legitimate problems and issues. And misc should be about real problems/discussions (like it was before stupid linus-nerds arrived on this list...) Never knew being a nerd was associated with stupidity thought they were spectrally at opposite ends :-P Or is this just an OpenBSD superiority thing?? Hmm. the BSD Daemon insignia. didn't they do that back in 1939??? Look where they got! :-P :-P :-P :-P (sorry for that non-misc related message) P.s. just because am new to OpenBSD and posting back with my thoughts and opinions it doesn't mean that I'm trolling!!! :-) To be honest from what I've seen with OpenBSD to this date: gateway/NAT/router/firewall/VPN concentrator (yep done all this), I really like it and will continue to use it for many years to come and hopefully contribute myself, to help the community. OS wars aside OpenBSD is really cool and as router and network appliance capable OS kicks Cisco right in their ASCII. P.p.s. no lynching me please Regards, Kaya

Request for a new list: trolling
It is quite interesting that any trolling message gets more attention than a real, OpenBSD related problem (view the threads of the stupid guy which cant read installation instructions...) My suggestion: We create a new list, eg. "trolling" or "smalltalk" where other users can discuss about senseless questions. And misc should be about real problems/discussions (like it was before stupid linus-nerds arrived on this list...) (sorry for that non-misc related message)
