Or even "why isn't FreeBSD more like FreeBSD used to be back in the day?"

As a newcomer to FreeBSD (who will never be a programmer or serious
sysadmin) I'm grateful for the firm but fair approach taken here by most
people, for the toleration of my occasional inanities, and for helpful
answers. 


I'm also grateful to Chad for helping me look at again at Compiz-fusion -
I prefer fvwm myself, but CF IS gorgeous, no doubt about it, and my
eleven  year old thinks its cool :-)
