Gosh, now that makes a lot of sense. They won't give us what we want, so
let's barrage them into submission. This makes about as much sense as
sending a message to every newsgroup about something stupid, like a
Green Card Lottery.
How many *BSD users would actually pay for a port of DOOM? That is
probably their bottom line. There are a lot more DOS/Windows users out
there who pay for their software instead of ftp'ing it off of somewhere
and compiling it.
