I agree.  It's sad that all the lamerz whining "why don't you write
stuff for linux??  it's the k00lest thing ever!" always make so much
noise that people do stuff for them just to quiet them down.  Just
because we're the professional sysadmin types, doesn't mean we don't
deserver as much consideration!  (This is generality night, btw...)

   I want DooM for my NetBSD and I want it now!  Will someone please tell me
   where I can e-mail ID software so that I can "Tear down the doors"?

   I say we send 'em a blitz of mail telling them what I(we) want.

Definitely.  Let's get all the *BSDers together and do a mail blitz!
