I _am_ a citizen of the USA (American? -not sure- what
is a Canadian if not a North American?), and I've got
the proverbial 2cents that all people from USA have
about things.  [Insert joke here about opinions and
a-holes.]

I like jokes and sarcasm as much as the next guy, but
there is too much of it on this list.  I think we
could tone it down a bit and still be effective. 
Especially when we are dealing with NBSD and FBSD
people.  Stupid questions (IMHO) should be simply
referred to the FAQ.  I'm not sure what is gained by
attacks any more strong than RTFM.  Or PEBCAK, either
with a ;-) attached.

I've been told directly that "OBSD advocates don't
care if the market share grows."  Well, I'm an
advocate and I want it to grow at the expense of Linux
where possible.  :-).

At the risk of sounding "mushy" I really think a
little more friendliness is in order.  And BTW, I've
often noticed that Theo's barbs only make to the list
by way of the _receiver_ - meaning, IMO he sets the
standard for only offlist strong language.  It would
be a good standard to follow.
