dear freeBSD answer person,

for some reason, i feel like i recently saw a BSD advocacy how-to
discussing the ways people should act while, er, well - while practicing
BSD advocacy. included in this how-to (or FAQ, or whatever it was) were
some pointers on how one shouldn't really pick on linux while advocating
BSD, because you're unlikely to win friends by picking on people's OSs -
and that it is more contructive to point out the good things about BSD
than to point out the bad things about another OS. or something along
those lines..

i wanted to find this document so i could send the URL to one of my
writers, who is writing about a topic completely unrelated to BSD or to
Linux, but nonetheless is falling into the same trap - namely he isn't
being as persuasive as he might be if he were more careful to act a bit
more like marc antony in his famous speech.

i don't suppose you know what document it is that i think i saw? if you
do, and if you could send me a URL, i'd really appreciate it. i've been
looking for a while this morning, and have been having no luck at all.

thank you for your time & consideration and i look forward to hearing from
you.

best regards,
