You're attributing our "market share" to people like Brett? It seems to me that both Microsoft and Linux have supporters who are both more offensive and more ignorant, and they seem to be doing okay. I think the segment of people who have never heard of FreeBSD is a lot bigger than the segment of people whom Brett has offended. I'm sure that the FreeBSD Project is not so fragile that it can be destroyed by a single vocal supporter. -- Matthew Hunt * UNIX is a lever for the intellect. -J.R.
