Not at all. I doubt you'll ever find a Red Sox fan who regards that
team as better than the team which actually makes it to and wins the
World Series :)
>I would think they are fans of it *because* they regard it as much better.
Not necessarilly. I was a big fan of Linux back when the kernel was
1.12.x, but at the time I wouldn't have considered it better than any
other Unix at the time, especially in a comparison of either
stability or performance (leaving Ultrix out of the picture ;)
It was a great system back then, and I was huge fan, but at the time,
I don't think it was *better* (better being completely subjective and
therefore, by definition, unquantifiable).
But that's just my NSHO :)
