As stated previously, I'm not, nor have I ever been, a "member" of
DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Linux. I've just done
work in the first two and the last. So don't slur those who choose to
define themselves as members with all the various evils that you appear
to want to attribute to me.

FreeBSD is not yet "pure", but people like you and phk are helping to
ensure that every day it becomes more "pure". And once again, I thank
you both for your efforts.

Ouch. That truly is all encompassing. It is unfortunate that there isn't
a competitive demand for people who are talented at making snide remarks.
You and a couple of other notables would be very well off. It is also
unfortunate that people like you and phk are the most vocal members of the
FreeBSD community. There are so many good, kind, and talented people out
there.
