Mostly i do if you read my answers. And i always try to help all people.
Classic example is some kind of windows user (or maybe linux distro) that
wants "easy system" and "desktop software".
Telling him/her that it's better stick with windows is actually saving
his/her time.
There are no cases that such people will switch. i know HUNDREDS of people
like this, everybody got back to windows.
And i help FreeBSD too this way. Do you like more and more opinions like
this:
"I completely don't understand that hype about linux/FreeBSD. It's even
more inconsistent, slow and make more problems that windows."
I hear them often, and i understand them.

You see wrong. Probably because of few people that behave like having
mental problems, and just criticizing ANYTHING i write.
Any attempt to discuss only make it worse.
Don't you think that it would be better AS YOU SAID - concentrate on
topic, and not on your opinions about myself?
While few may be true, most are just the result of too quick reading and
are too much based of this few people i mentioned.
Actually THEY starts "flamewar" because they don't use argument.
And - no - i WILL NOT be telling what you or other want from me, but my
opinions. There is no way to change it no matter how "politically
incorrect" it is.
I think it finally end in starting moderated maillist, because it's fine
time to do so.
