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. Dereck
