I don't know who said what, but I'm not terribly depressed that they 
discontinued their BSD section.  They were doing a REALLY bad job with 
it.  They had large amounts of misinformation and refused to change it. 
They were primarily linux focused there (nothing wrong with that in of 
itself of course), but they seemed to refuse to research their info for 
the BSD's.   If you see Jordan Hubbard's response at a few online 
forums discussing it, he doesn't lament the loss for the same reasons 
essentialy.
	I also think that the exposure could have helped the BSD's, but 
misinformation takes away from the projects.  If they could have just 
done it a little better, all would've been good.

Perhaps it was a large part due to the original article at BSDToday 
talking about the misinformation.
