Fortunately, your patronising attitude does not seem typical
of FreeBSD people;
I had several encouraging messages, from Jordan Hubbard and others.

All agreed with me, in fact, that the documentation
presently leaves a lot to be desired;
and it seems plain that considerable effort
is going into improving this.

I look forward to the day when Linux and FreeBSD
can share the same file-system,
and we can all run both of them.
