I had to resist my natural net-urge to just reply back with a rude,
snide, hot flame, but I'm going to try and respond in a reasonable
manner. I'm not sure wether that deserves a stream of four letter words
or not, but I think I'll stick with the simpler who died and made you
net-god? It's not the OS, its what you do with it. You can have SUNs out
the...front door...but if you can't provide a quality service with them,
seeeeeya! So before you comment on one of the most widely used ISP OS's,
get a clue.

That just doesn't even deserve a response...

Take a look at the stats, I don't think BSD is quite as unused as you
seem to think..

Sorry for this probably wasteful message, but since I'm already
"eliminating the usefulness of this list," what the heck.
