Of course you're currently gathering your proof of the above statements,
and will post a follow-up that will back these statements up - just like
all your other posts.....
Come on, tell us who you really are - I know you've been dying for us
to ask. Is this a bet ? Is this one of those nasty "whoever starts
the biggest thread wins" bets ? If that's it, you should bear in mind
that _you_ have to _start_ the thread.
If you really want a large thread, pay attention and stop being ignorant.
You have to say something constructive, not things like
"BSD sucks"
"Diamond is crap"
"AccelX is the only worthwhile X server"
"BSD is dead because it's not commercial"
I know, you're an FBI agent !
