Although I agree that FreeBSD's availability to the public is great I do not agree with this "you are a user, so just be happy" attitude. If developers get pissed off by (some) user comments I might understand that, but if they can't deal with "users" and their POVs they might better quit being a developer to an -open- project like FreeBSD and start developing products just for themselves. You have developers in 'flavours'; you also have all sorts of users ;-) > further discussion is just going to upset people even further. :) Being/geeting upset is -always- ones own fault. After all, it's only a discussion, not a war. So why be upset about words? -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D ++ http://nagual.nl/ + SunOS sxde 01/08 ++
