Perhaps the idea behind "advocacy," but the idea behind "-advocacy" is for us 'zealots' to discuss how best to accomplish our 'advocacy' ideals....hence the reason you've been asked, probably more than once, to drop your habit of posting here in order to improve the SNR...... You have the right to use whatever OS you want for whatever purpose you want, within the terms of its license. I suppose you also have the right to complain bitterly whenever you grok the words "FreeBSD" and "desktop" in the same posting, but I, for one, am well aware of your position on the subject and am quite ready for the exchange to end. You're obviously quite talented at many things, why not use your expertise to help folks on -newbies, or -questions, or perhaps even better, put some more articles on your own site? There are not many 'lurkers' here, as you seem to think....I think most everyone is just hiding in a corner muttering about troll feed.... Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.
