While reading through an on-line forum, I tripped across crap like the OP here posted (and much worse and more literate, of course) being said about this Theo de Raadt character. It wasn't intellectual disagreement on technical issues, it was childish name calling, leading to the "conclusion" that anything Theo did must be wrong. Well...anyone who generates THAT much blind hatred has to be checked out, they are obviously either onto (or into) something. So I read up on OpenBSD, LOVED the philosophy of "security matters", downloaded it, and never regretted it. Following the fantastic OpenBSD documentation, I accomplished more in three days with OpenBSD than I had in several years of poking at Linux. So, while obvious trolls like this are annoying...they also serve a purpose. I thank those mindless haters for pointing me in a very interesting direction a couple decades ago, and I'll thank this ass in particular for reminding me that I'm a bit behind in my project donations (I do miss the CDs). That has now been fixed. Nick.
