Not intentionally, Roman. Don't see attacks where there are none. I've 
said (repeatedly now) that I love the OS and have been using it since 
version 4.1. (Actually I think it was 4.1 beta)

Again, as I've said, not intentionally.

Yes, well. Thanks to Mercury being retrograde again.

So let's put the knives down and discuss things that maybe we can do to 
help encourage vendors to make their software available for BSD. 
Personally, I think Oracle Collab Suite (as a prime example) would do 
amazingly well on a BSD platform. But of course, I'm a little biased 
that way :)
