Oh damn.. which loonie? if their threshhold for pain is crossed by one irate and worried user then they must have a lot of other pent up frustrations making them that sensitive. I've basically bet my future on FreeBSD, and I'm doing all I can to keep it running and successful. I wish people wouldn't do things like this..

I hope you don't call it XXXBSD but rather FreeBSD "security track" or something... 3 is enough already.
