With all due respect, how would I know he was an OpenBSD developer? He didn't announce himself as such explicitly, and at the moment I had a 'someone's' suggestion against clearly laid out rules on OpenBSD website.

And where would I get that common knowledge? I am a newcomer to OpenBSD, I tried to be as polite as possible, reading the manpages, the FAQ etc. as thoroughly as possible, so that no one of the devs would get angry with yet another 'ignorant user, who wouldn't RTFM'. Therefore you should understand why I feel a bit confused and frustrated here. It is quite an inconsistency between the rules and the practice being followed, according to your words.
And BTW, I've checked the lists, and it seems that the devs responsible for this particular subsystem do read and post to the
misc@ list.
