Theo, I'd like to make a comment as a new user in this community: I think BSD is great. I don't care what flavor you're talking about; I think they're great. I use FreeBSD, but I have great respect for OpenBSD and the others, and it was a hard choice deciding which to run. However, when I see TOP_FREEBSD_MEMBER_1 saying "TOP_OPENBSD_MEMBER_1 is full of crap", and then TOP_OPEN_BSD_MEMBER_1 comes back and says "How dare you" and starts antagonizing TOP_FREEBSD_MEMBER_1 (on the FreeBSD mailing list, in fact; in full view of everyone, instead of privately), it makes me wonder, how the hell is this community ever going to get taken seriously? Heck, how's it going to keep going if the top members are volatile, vitriolic children who can't keep personal attacks out of what should be a purely technical or philosophical debate? So, for love of all that's civil, do you think you could tone it down a bit, or at least take your personal hatred of each other out of a public mailing list where it has no place? Yeah, I know, "You're new here, aren't you </rimshot>"
