Too late, I'm 49 years old and spent most of my life being a
professional musician (+20 years playing violoncello).  Being a musician
I had to work a lot for free like FOSS developers, so I think I
understand your bad temper, except I didn't become famous enough to
start being so concerned about the "uneducated opinion" of people about
my work.

I spent only the last six years of my life learning how to administer
unix-like systems.  Obviously not enough to feel myself entitled to give
an opinion here, so you're right.  It won't happen again.

I'll take this opportunity to express my opinion about this project but
from a point of view I think I'm entitled: the human aspect.

Even being myself, as you rightly said, an ignorant in the matter, I
felt treated by OpenBSD developers as an equal.  When I reported a bug
they answered me, and politely, even to personal messages.  Thanks to
all of them for making the difference.
