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..
(of course it's always your OPTION to decide to use some other OS,
but no one can TELL you to do so, and I hope that all this settles down
eventually as a bad memeory)

I hope you don't call it XXXBSD but rather FreeBSD "security track"
or something... 3 is enough already.
CVSUP would be good for this..
