Having occasionally dropped in on the semi-annual "my-free-unix-clone
is better than yours" shouting matches over the past year or so, it
strikes me that these threads are a good thing.  One wonders if it
weren't for these fairly harmless religious net-wars, would there be
more people out hanging witches, throwing people to the lions, going
on crusades, and otherwise asserting their moral and philosophical
superiority in nasty ways?
