Imagine how it is to have a blog with almost 2,900 posts written by me since Aug. 12, 2005. This makes an average of 4.6 posts/day. From the 4,230 comments posted by readers over the time, some of them were very offensive (hundreds), but just figure it that I had to reject hundreds of _very_ offensive comments. I must be tired and writing such a polemical `feature' (essay) in 3 days was exhausting. I was then very much surprised to see that the most coherent attack (on both me and Jem -- `The sorry state of The Jem Report', remember?) is coming from a FreeBSD developer.

Backed != controlled. Next time write about dogs if you don't want all the attention. ;) Nay, because I love cats, and guess who is a cat lover too? ;-) OK, moving on, I am back to better feelings now. The next week I have to migrate my home Linux installations to FreeBSD and NetBSD. I have four different Linhooks distros currently.

The sorry state of open source today
Really, folks, what makes you so aggressive?! I was hurt, and disappointed. I was having higher expectations from the FreeBSD guys. http://beranger.org/index.php?article=2858 R-C Be smarter than spam.
