On the subject of controversial topics, I've written a number of answers to FAQs such as "why don't you use the GPL", "why do FreeBSD people hate Linux", "which is better, FreeBSD and XYZ" and "why are the FreeBSD developers so closed and elitist" which I've been meaning to submit for discussion. Unfortunately it's not very convenient for me to post them at the moment (I'm just about to move to a new job) but I'll try and dig them out. Perhaps we should have a separate section for this kind of thing - how about "Religion and Politics" (the first piece of advice in every ettiquette book used to be "never discuss religion or politics at dinner")? -- James Raynard
