Jon, you have just made a wonderful demonstration of yet more reasons
why I asked you not to send bug reports to Berkeley directly.  Let
someone else forward these problems, if they are indeed determined to
be problems with Berkeley's code.  You may check it out yourself, and
it would even be helpful in bug reports if you tell us whether it is a
problem with the BSD code.  But sending such sarcastic bug reports is
not the way to make friends.

* Minor complaints about coding style that do not affect performance
  on the only machines Berkeley has attempted to support are _not_
  major disasters.  Remember, Berkeley has never even tried to support
  the RT.
* Let someone with more tact send reports on to Berkeley.

Stop sending reports to Berkeley.  I am not asking you this time; I am
telling you.  If you want to discuss this, do it with me in person.

-- Ken
