I must have been dreaming when I *thought* I saw all those posts telling us how lousy *BSD was and how great Linux was and how stupid we all were to persist with *BSD. 8->. I always knew Jordan had the magic touch. After all, I'm sure that it was his "all is forgiven" post that convinced jmonroy to come back and give us all the boundless benefits of his unsurpassed excellence in concise English phraseology and crystal clear, analytical thinking from which we were all really suffering extremely painful withdrawal symptoms :-). It's heartening to see that, despite the long silence, jmonroy has now returned, obviously fully refreshed, to once again warm our hearts with his own inimitable and incisive commentary ;-).
