The individual Borg > call themselves "drones", and there are "thousands" of them. I, for one couldn't give a tinker's cuss how many lemmings want to jump over the cliff edge. I am happy with what I have and what I do. Most importantly, I am very happy with the folk that I am doing it with. John, all of y'all (is that how you say it?) are doing a GREAT job IMO, and in the collective opinion of very many people with me at work who are OS converts --> FreeBSD (from many). Forget the idiots. There are FreeBSD twits as well. I go by 3 laws: 1) Do not hit shit; it splatters, and you get your hand dirty. 2) Do not argue with fools; outsiders cannot tell the difference. 3) Smile, it could get worse.
