For As stated previously, I'm not, nor have I ever been, a "member" of DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Linux. I've just done work in the first two and the last. So don't slur those who choose to define themselves as members with all the various evils that you appear to want to attribute to me. > that I'm also very glad.

That truly is all encompassing. It is unfortunate that there isn't a competitive demand for people who are talented at making snide remarks. You and a couple of other notables would be very well off. It is also unfortunate that people like you and phk are the most vocal members of the FreeBSD community. There are so many good, kind, and talented people out there. -Kip
