Yes. They want to be both elitists *and* whine that they don't have the
popularity of Linux. I am reminded of a classical music (sorry, `European
Art Music') pinhead I had as a music instructor in college, who couldn't
figure out why classical music ticket and CD sales are declining steadily.

However, the fact remains that the BSDs are really great operating
systems that are enjoyable to use. So I do, while laughing at the pinheads
at the same time.
