Gary,

Nobody in FreeBSD has the right to annoy developers by whining at them.

Everybody on the other hand, has an _obligation_ to work constructively
to improve FreeBSD.

Here is a simple litmus test:

	If your message contains the two words "somebody should"
	next to each other in that order, then it is very likely
	in the first (ie: wrong) category.

If you feel something should be done, then do it or pay somebody
to do it, don't pontificate that the nonexistant committer "somebody"
should do it.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
