Sorry; in general, a posting with "Linux" in the subject line that
advocates something that's in Linux and not BSD is a setup for a
propaganda battle. I didn't mean to misinterpret your posting
this way, if that isn't how it was intended.

The point, exactly. A setup of that type belongs in the Linux
advocacy group and nowhere else.
If we ever decide to get an advocacy group, you have my endorsement
if you want to retroactively repost all Linux vs. BSD flamebait.
