What I am trying to point out and is that mindless propaganda or insect-like reaction in the face of reason can back-fire on the group and if you browse over at : http://forums.infoworld.com/threads/get.cgi?53767 You will see that some on the linux fanatics drop their blind propaganda when met with reason. I still stand behind my statement : FreeBSD supporters by enlarge are laze when it comes to promoting FreeBSD. My feeling is that we are *too* comfortable in our mailing lists and just hate to leave our cozy environ.
