|    Since Linux's networking performance is now superior to FreeBSD's, isn't
| it about time for the FreeBSD developers to admit that Linux is better and
| give up?  I constantly hear BSD people say that they have a better TCP/IP
| stack than Linux, but we all know in actuality this is no longer true.
|    Since most other parts of Linux are now superior to BSD as well, and
| are constantly improving, you BSD people really need to move into the future.
| And the future is Linux.

Wonderful flame bait, but not much technical content. Let's hold the
comments until we see some technical content.
