One of the most pleasant things about FreeBSD mailing lists and the community as a whole is that you have the feeling that you are talking to adult human beings you share an interest / preference in operating system / profession / etc. with. And I heared a lot of people support my opinion, esp. from newbies trying FreeBSD for the first time. The professional and polite style here has become rare in today's internet, where every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he needs to be kewl or insulting. Simon
