   It seems to me that every time that a Linux fanatic stumbles into one of
   FreeBSD's mailing lists they start a 'My OS can beat up your OS' argument,
   though the name calling usually doesn't come so quickly.

I've never stated anything like this, I wish these claims would subside.

   Linux, as well as FreeBSD, has its strengths and weaknesses, as does any
   other OS.

I totally agree, and have never stated anything to the contrary, even
though people wish that I have in some way.

   Were the Linux advocate an intelligent and reasonable person, an
   informative discussion could be had discussing these points.

Ok, a plea for intelligence...

   In noting the .edu domain of your address, I originally thought that
   you might be a college student. I now believe that I am addressing the
   janitor in the Computer Science Department.

...and then an immature remark
