A somewhat haphazardly search of the postings in this forum would seem to indicate that any post questioning the ethics or usefulness of FreeBSD as compared to other operating systems that elicit six or more responses, seems to inevitably result in "Godwin's Law" <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law>; being invoked. You might also want to check out <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum>. I just read it for the first time a few days ago. You might also want to familiarize yourself with the term "Sour Grapes" <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sour_grapes>. It is expressed by a certain clique here quite frequently. By the way Fred, please don't "Top Post". That pisses people off too, plus it makes following a really good argument a lot more difficult than it needs to be.
