I really don't think that he meant to be disrespectful.  That
kind of statement is usually meant with humor, but not necessarily
being disrespectful of the party that he is speaking to.  I did
not take it as such, but I can understand your interpretation.  It
is *very* difficult to express humor or light heartedness without
sometimes being misunderstood.

I really think that he simply meant by saying what he said, that
FreeBSD contains lots of stuff.
