Not intentionally, Roman. Don't see attacks where there are none. I've
said (repeatedly now) that I love the OS and have been using it since
version 4.1. (Actually I think it was 4.1 beta)

Yes, well. Thanks to Mercury being retrograde again.
So let's put the knives down and discuss things that maybe we can do to

amazingly well on a BSD platform. But of course, I'm a little biased
that way :)
Best,
