I don't, since I don't recall seeing this frequently on the FreeBSD
lists.

"Have you tried the prebuilt binaries?" is asked sometimes as, for
example, a gentle way to ask "do you know about the prebuilt
binaries?".

There have been cases of people trying to build the ports when they
have never seen a C compiler or make; der Mouse is not one of these
people!
