mircea_popescu: "With OpenBSD, you have
a community of hard-core asshole isolationists who freely and openly express unrestrained disdain for the less-knowledgeable, don't care about their users, don't want more users, don't entertain requests from their users, and who would prefer that you get lost rather than bother them.
