Damn good thing, too...

When I'm looking at my favorite porn site, I want a RELIABLE OS and web
server, not Windows NT running IIS. Now, I do think we should boycott
Yahoo, simply because in this electronic age, there is no need to pay
for porn. But alas, that is another issue...

By the way, to the original lady, you should read the license governing
FreeBSD. Even if the FreeBSD group wanted to do anything about this,
they are powerless to do so. The license essentially says you can do
anything you want with FreeBSD, including hosting sites with pictures of
spread-eagle girls. :)
