*nod* It was a bit of a rhetorical question. :)

And that's why we don't talk about politics, Linux vs. FreeBSD, or
the Evil Redmond Empire.  It doesn't stop us from being miffed about
someone new walking in and starting off with "your software sucks",
though, instead of a "Hi, I'm new and was wondering why this was done
this way" type of message (not saying this was how this sounded, just
trying to make a point), nothing wrong with some 'good form'.

Erwin.
