Well, as we're  on a religious theme, Thank God for common sense. How many
religious people worldwide even HAVE devils in their religion, I wonder.

Again, amen. Do we really want narrow-minded people in our community? Does
anyone?

Several months later the site won an award at one of their national

That's devilishly good news,

If people are refraining from using FreeBSD because of beastie (which I

Hear, hear

I can, but  then as you say, they need to grow up.

Jeff.
