Do you have any idea how much I want to punch you in the face for saying 
that?

A desktop crashing is important. A person who is dealing with crashes 
and is losing productivity because of THIS PROJECT is important. You 
might be happy with a desktop crashing all day long, but nobody else is.

Serioulsy, telling somebody who isn't able to get their work done, that 
it doesn't matter because it's not a server issue, is the kind of thing 
that hammers nails into the coffin of FreeBSD. Is that something you 
really want? The newbie had a valid point, learn from it. Please, 
just.... oh, never mind...
