I think you had no doubt at all that "Da Rock" meant "peruse" here, and
you should check whether the walls of your house are made of durable
material before you start throwing stones.  Check, for instance, you
habitual inability to properly use apostrophes to indicate the possessive
form of a word, or your error in using the plural form "phenomena" where
the singular "phenomenon" is appropriate.  These observations of your
relative illiteracy come from a single paragraph, by the way, but until I
saw your "play dumb to call someone dumb" approach to discussion, I felt
it appropriate to point out your own failings along the same lines -- not
because these specific failings invalidate anything else you say, but
because you're kind of a mean-spirited little hypocrite.

In short, trying to paint people who disagree with you in the colors of
stupidity for a single spelling error when your errors are fairly
numerous is not a winning strategy.

That must be why you blame everything you perceive as a problem in
regards to open source software on "sour grapes".

I think the statement was more like "Someone who calls it 'open sore' is
clearly a mean-spirited jackass who likes making trouble," rather than
"Down with the bourgeoisie!"  I just figured I'd help clarify.

What do you define with your "hanging around sniping at people and
sabotaging discussions" attitude?  In the years I have been on this list,
it seems like you have demonstrated a rabid hatred of all things related
to FreeBSD and most things related to open source software in general,
which makes me wonder why you hang around this mailing list.

If I hated something that much, I would avoid it.
