Several months ago when I loaded FreeBSD onto one of my machines here
(after having run Linux for about 8 months) and said "Hey, COOL
feature".  I thought about starting a thread discussing what the Linux
and FreeBSD camps could learn from each other.  I finally decided that
people most likely would turn it into a flame war.

So would a discussion about FreeBSD and Linux go in a Linux group or
a FreeBSD group, or would you rather not hear it at all?  Personally
I think both camps can learn something interesting from the other.
