It's not a matter of being lazy or anything, it's about lack of manpower. I have tried to explain things nicely but he won't listen. He obviously knows better. He's getting high on slagging the opensource community (not even trying to make it better), so I don't think it's unfair of me writing a short comment once in a while (actually working on something). I am going to unsubscribe from his blog anyway. There used to be some interesting posts once in a while, now it's just utter bullshit.

Maybe yes, but in this case the ports system has a real problem in its design…

I don’t defend Beranger but you should avoid permanent aggressiveness, it does not give a good image of people from FreeBSD, maybe even of the BSD world as a whole…

If he produces that amount of crap every week, I suggest you just unsubscribe and forget he exists too.

I've tried several Nvidia cards - AGP 5200, 5500, 6200 and PCI MX4000. Of course the only other usable driver vesa does not support my LCD at 1680x1050 :( XFree86 was rock solid ...

I reckon I could add the former in a quick and dirty way but the latter will take more time. There are at least two features I’d like to see in feedjack: posts filtering and moderation.
