Thank you for yet again proving that the old saying:

"Linux is for people who hate MS, BSD is for people who love UNIX"

should really be amended to:

"Linux is for people who hate MS, BSD is for people who hate Linux"

I suppose we'll have to update it again once BSD gets popular enough that all the "counterculture" whiners who moved from Linux to BSD in 97-98 move on to something even more fringe.

Why?

Seriously, why do you people waste so much energy flaming every time there's a post about BSD/MacOS/MacOSX/Be/etc. Why the heck do you care what someone else uses?! If it gets their job done, and they like it, whats the use posting unconstructive things like:

"It sucks!! Why are you using it!!??"

"Its dead/dying!!"

etc..

If you're going to whine and complain about someone elses OS, at least provide _VALID_ _TECHNICAL_ points.
