Not sure I remember what I thought at first. At the time I think I was still trying to convince myself I was a faithful Christian. I don't think I EVER associated Beastie with the Devil. Maybe that's an indication I had already filed him (Satan) and my previous faith into the mythology drawer. Regardless, I congratulate you on seeing past your initial hangups. :) > No matter how things turn out in the end, freeBSD is a solid OS and > deserves to take it's rightful position in the market place.

I still seriously oppose any change, but now I'm just a little tired of the war, and I have stepped back and recognized that I'm NOT a real contributor, but just a user, so I really shouldn't be such a fanatical opponent to any changes. While I am attached to Beastie for reasons I can't really explain at this point - not sure if it's the because of the crazy night out with the guys or just plain mental (emotional?) fatigue on this particular issue - I do understand that I should really just voice my opinion as a FreeBSD user then shut up. That is the reason I have effectively stopped taking part in the relevant threads - I only read your message because it is a new thread. Ok, overly talkative - that's certainly Sam Adams talking. Don't mind the spelling accuracy. I'm obsessive compulsive, and typed every third word four times :) 'nuf said, In short, I have to agree with your last point absolutely and completely. *Well said*.
