Are these flame baits necessary, or do we have to respond everytime someone
trolls "Linux" past the followers of this newsgroup. I think not!

My feeling is if someone asks for help on the freebsd newsgroup and then says 
that he/she will install Linux then I suggest that they do so!
That way I can ignore the post and not start the flame war! I have seen too
many wasted gallons of electronic ink on my OS is better nyah nyah type
of messages.

Can't we get back to the purpose of the group or am I the lone voice
in the wilderness :)
