I think you did actually when you said in your post dated Wednesday the 10th March 2004 at 07:16, and I quote: "If you feel that Windows 2003 or what ever, doing MS Exchange and some file sharing, is a server, then you're welcome to continue living under your very comfortable rock, just don't complain about things you've lost touch with then, alright?" Perhaps you'd like to explain, and then perhaps apologise to the list and the person to whom you were suggesting has "lost touch"? I wrote a lengthy answer to the rest of your e-mail, then I realised you were just trolling and your post was just the e-mail equivalent of verbal diarrhoea. FreeBSD is good at what it does. Like it or not, in the last couple of years, MS have got good at what they do. The respective OSes are not good at doing each other's jobs. Perhaps you should give some thought to going back to Slashdot and hanging around with the Linux zealots talking about how "Micro$0ft $uXx0RRZZZ!!!". Your attitude really isn't comparable to that of the majority of FreeBSD users I know, and I'm not sure if you're going to fit in around here if you fail to realise people are going to use what works, not what their political ideology dictates regardless of the barriers. I could be patronising and put it down to immaturity and lack of experience, but I'd rather just start ignoring you instead. Looking forward to your apology, -- Paul
