A lot of us are people who are paid to keep servers running, and
therefore we use freebsd on servers.  If you wish to use freebsd
as a desktop OS, we certainly wish you the best of luck at it.  If
you have some contributions to make to freebsd to make it a better
desktop OS, we can probably find someone who will be happy to look
at them.  By "contributions" I mean "working code changes", and
not simply some cheer-leading from the sidelines.

One of the rules of an open-source project like freebsd is that the
people who are doing the work get to say what the work is that they
are going to do.  I do use freebsd in a server context, and therefore
the changes which I personally work on are bound to be related to the
work that I do.  It is annoying that you feel some right to insult
me for contributing the work that I do contribute, when you are not
paying me anything for any work that I do.

If you do not care what I think, then why do you fantasize that I
care what you think?
