BSD is more conservative. More value given to stability of availability
of interfaces & tools etc, More Long term professionals. Doug's
attempting to force working FreeBSD ports such as procmail to be
discarded is deplorable. Doug should stop coercing FreeBSD toward
a Linux model, & move himself to Linux.
