I think you're being gratuitously cruel.
OTOH I _do_ think that some people around here
are uncertain enough about their own opinions that
they subconsciously believe that approbation == excellence
and thus waste effort trying to convince others
that plan9 is Really Good when they are
really trying to convince themselves.
I, OTOH suffer from no such problem:
I _know_ I'm right*.
If anything, I suffer from the opposite delusion:
I own a MacBook (unpopular) but not an iPod (popular)
and I am deeply distrustful of popularity
as a measure of anything other than popularity.
Sadly, Plan 9 is not "American Idol"
That's right: we're not all tone-deaf braindead egomaniacs.

Not yet. (PowerBook and totally uncomputerized vintage Marantz audio gear).
'Nam and things that make loud noises took care of the tone-deaf part long ago.
Anyone here will attest I'm diligently working on the 'brain dead' part as well.
And I was *born* an egomaniac...
Ipse dixit.
;-)
But 'Not guilty' to yet being convinced - in any direction, really, w/r Plan9.
Still wading through the chaff.
