If you go back and read the list charter, something you seem to either
be unaware of or completely ignore, this list is for discussing
developing software on or for FreeBSD. Not for clueless newbie
questions like "does FreeBSD work on my hardware?", that's what the
-questions list is for.
You seem to think the purpose of this list is for you to denigrate the
work of the people who make FreeBSD, broadcast your own lovely little
brand of FUD, and point out how much better Linux is for your
customers. That's just fine, but this is NOT the appropriate channel
for your opinions. If you want to present code that you think will
fix the problem, fine. If you want to present diagnostics that think
will fix the problem, fine. If you want user support questions, ask
in -questions. If you want to opine that Linux is superior and
FreeBSD a waste of time, as you have done so often lately, go do it
somewhere else. This is not the appropriate venue.
