It is good to be back. You can write a letter to Mr. Nader and Mr. Love saying thanks for mentioning the alternatives, including FreeBSD. You can tell them that FreeBSD is really behind them. It is not necessary to tell them of any shortcomings. You can then tell them you are in the FreeBSD camp. And tell them to keep up the good work. We can tell them we feel that the computer industry could user some consumer advocacy (nader's specialty). This way we can advocate FreeBSD. Hey, it's not necessary to complain to anyone to let them know we exist. Notice that the above discussion doesn't point out any errors that Mr. Nader or Mr. Love may have. It _does_ let them know that FreeBSD is out their and that we are interested in advancing the alternative OSes. I am getting a bit philosophic now. It is not always necessary to speak directly of an issue for your position on that issue to be communicated.
