I cannot really believe that the above response, with it's obvious 
self-inconsistencies, was done seriously.  On the off chance that 
perhaps it was, ask yourself, would you really WANT a person who

to switch, along with us in FreeBSD?  I would be embarrassed to admit 
that such a person is an associate of mine, wouldn't you?.
