Indeed.  It also gave me the chance to pitch the author for a FreeBSD
review, which I've just done. :)

Now I don't think it would help to mailbomb the guy, exactly, but if a

thing!" sorts of responses to this article, it might also positively
affect his views on the merits of doing a FreeBSD review. :)
