RE: installing acid on fbsd4.6 for meer mortals

[HenkP () masana co za]

I am a newcomer to this list, and my first impressions are not very
positive. It seems certain people are more interested in flaming than
actually helping.
Suggestion - maybe you should just reply to someone with a oneliner that
links to the URL for "howto ask the right questions" instead of pulling
people apart.
I thought the object of the list was to help people... If the questions is
one that offends, then rather ignore it, reacting in this way causes a lot
of responses from everyone about isuess that has got nothing to do with
snort... Like this mail of mine, I have better things to do, than to write
this email.

Someone commented about a "meer cat" its actually spelled "meerkat" and if
you know the Lion king story it would seem that Timone the "meerkat" is the
friend of Pumba - the PIG...snort.. snort snort.

Henk Pretorius

Wow, this is the first flame war I've seen on this
list.  And I still don't know what part of my guide
caused the problem, hahaha.
