Oh no, not the Dennis basher's club again! Next thing we'll be hearing
from the guy who didn't get some screws and cheerful support and can't
find a hardware store. If Dennis sold nothing but junk, he would be gone,
but he isn't. He isn't Mr. Sunshine(tm) all the time, but his stuff works!

But have you ever *used* his products? I agree he isn't always sunshine
and is frequently condescending, but his products *really* work on FreeBSD
and he has a technical clue. He might do well to hire a 'handler' for some
of his more righteous customers. Most of them swear by his products from
what I've seen. Some of them swear at him, then things go downhill...
Like everyone else, I'm going to ask why this is getting started on this
list again and that we move on to something else... Thanks - Jy@
