I am certainly not the only FreeBSD user who has reason to thank Scott
Long for the endless hours of unpaid work he has given to me personally.
He is certainly one of the most decent and competent individuals it has
been my good fortune to encounter. Leaving OpenBSD and moving to FreeBSD
was like a breath of fresh air. Not only because, finally, hardware I
had purchased that was listed in the the OpenBSD 'hardware compatibility
list' finally did work, but because the FreeBSD community was really is
a community and genuinely interested in helping out their user base.
Scott Long is particularly outstanding in this regard.

I remember the OpenBSD list and "support" very well, and didn't really
need this recent reminder.  Thanks for the memories and all that, but
why don't you guys go back where you belong?

Regards,
sdb
