Microftiv deserves the same kind of respect as Nemo and I think - he can correct me in private if I'm mistaken, I'll publish the correction if requested to - the former meant to express that respect, but his subconscious nabbed him.
I also feel the pressure of wanting to work with like minded people, it's a strong emotional challenge and isn't exactly unjustified. In fact, this mailing list comes closest to my comfort zone precisely because Plan 9 is a choice, not a fashionable one. One could be even more materialistic, but that's not necessary, just accept that Microftiv was being defensive, without realising he verged beyond the offensive. As for everyone else needing to voice an opinion - including myself - what is your excuse for insulting people of whom you know only one facet of their personality? Lucio.
