I absolutely agree with Bill. One of the most pleasant things about
FreeBSD mailing lists and the community as a whole is that you have
the feeling that you are talking to adult human beings you share an
interest / preference in operating system / profession / etc. with.

And I heared a lot of people support my opinion, esp. from newbies
trying FreeBSD for the first time. The professional and polite style
here has become rare in today's internet, where every Tom, Dick and
Harry thinks he needs to be kewl or insulting.
