hi!

this sentence is taken from the "contribute to freebsd article".
i was wondering whether this sentence is correct concerning the time
values used in there:

---
If you do not receive confirmation in a timely fashion (3 days to a
week, depending on your email connection) or are, for some reason,
unable to use the  send-pr(1)  command, then you may ask someone to file
it for you by sending mail to the FreeBSD problem reports mailing list.
---
why should it take GNATS to respond in more than 1 hour? i would have
said that a maximum value of 1 day is more suitable than 1 week!
more time for a respond will clearly determine an error - i dont think
that it is necessary to wait one whole week. i remember all my PR (about
50) to have been replied by gnats in a maximum of 5 minutes.

tell me what you think of it

-josef
