Documentation is about info and facts, not about personal opinions. It's not the place for 'colorful language', no matter how much the writer would like to add that.

Just my opinion, though. ;) wouter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
