    Time again for the Toad Enlightment Program

    *BSD is dying
    So is Linux. It's just a fucking kernel. BSD is a real OS. Deal with it!

    Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers.
    If IDC told you to jump off a cliff for your precious Linux kernel, would you do it? Please say yes, then follow through.

    Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along.
    If Netcraft told you to fly an airplane into a skyscraper, would you do it?

    *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last [sysadminmag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
    Oooh. Sys Admin magazine. I'm so impressed. The word is 'Tuning'; look it up!

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future.
    And you don't have to be Islamic to be a terrorist. Your point?

    The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying.
    Then so is GNU/Linux and every other Open Source, Free, WTFE (what the fuck ever) OS out there.

    Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
    Speaking of blood, have you spilled yours yet?

    FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all. Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
    You're kidding, right?

    OpenBSD leader Theo (blah, blah, blah, yackety, schmakety, ...)
    BORING! Can't you do better than parrot the typical bullshit on Usenet? Get a fucking life, please?

    Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI
    BZZT! FreeBSD is not a business.

    who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead,its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
    BZZT! Non-sequitor. Your facts (sic) are uncoordinated.

    All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share.
    I can get anyone to kiss my ass and tell the world how sweet it is. So what?

    *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim.
    So is Linux.

    If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers.
    So is Linux.

    *BSD continues to decay.
    So does Linux.

    Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time.
    I use it and will continue to use it, therefore I AM GOD!

    For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
    For all practical purposes, you are still a braindead, fucking toad.

    *BSD is dying
    And so are you. Enough of your rattling, toadie boy. Your words are tiresome, your arguments are weak, and your relevance in this discussion is nonexistant. AWAY WITH YOU! BE GONE!
