Not having the best communications skills at times I have received rude, condisending and RTFM to many things I have posted on the FreeBSD mailing lists. I have seen it on the lists to others as well. So much so that if I were to ask a question again I would use a different name/account so that I would be unidentifed while being put down. I have talked to others who said they just won't post anymore.. So I can certainly see someone new just saying screw this and staying with Linux or Windows. And as for the people "looking for Ed" on the lists. A resturant critic doesn't walk into a resturant and say Hi I'm So and so and I'm writing a story. They would want to be anonymous and treated like everyone else to be able to be honestly objective.
