Sheesh, Ted, you make the Linux users sound like a bunch of little bitches 
or something.  Not that I think your point was invalid, but this was a 
funny way of phrasing it.  That "Mary can you help me" line just has me 
imagining a group of Linux users sitting around doing each others nails or 
something.

Anyway, I do get the sense from my readings that Linux users like feeling a 
part of something revolutionary, and that sense of community is big part of 
their choice for the OS.  BSD folks just seem to either (a) appreciate 
well-designed technology or (b) just want to get something done.  But 
changing the world is at best a by-product of real work for us.
