    Thank you for yet again proving that the old saying:

    "Linux is for people who hate MS, BSD is for people who love UNIX"

    should really be amended to:

    "Linux is for people who hate MS, BSD is for people who hate Linux"

    I suppose we'll have to update it again once BSD gets popular enough that all the "counterculture" whiners who moved from Linux to BSD in 97-98 move on to something even more fringe.

    Seriously, why do you people waste so much energy flaming every time there's a post about BSD/MacOS/MacOSX/Be/etc. Why the heck do you care what someone else uses?! If it gets their job done, and they like it, whats the use posting unconstructive things like:

    "It sucks!! Why are you using it!!??"

    "Its dead/dying!!"

    etc..

    If you're going to whine and complain about someone elses OS, at least provide _VALID_ _TECHNICAL_ points.
