Emminently reasonable advice!

.. Only problem is:  that's what started this flamewar.  :)

[ for those who don't remember that far back-- Netbsd was a case of people
going off in a different direction because they didn't "like it".  Then
both sides were flamed for Not Cooperating.  Now someone is saying
"if you don't like it use a different system".  Pretty good, huh? ]

p.s.  This has been quite entertaining, but for REAL flameage, go check
out the SCO groups.  I hear comp.*.386bsd.* is pretty tame by comparison.. :)
