[Tfug] Reminder to respect one another

[Bowie J. Poag]

Phil,

Yes, and I'm well aware of the fact that  OS X and iOS are non-free.   
All I said was that I was interested in comparing iOS 4 to the latest  
Android release.

Personally, I could care less what a given *nix box infront of me was.  
As a programmer or an admin, I only care if it's POSIX or not. It's  
been close to 20 years now, and Linux still isn't fully POSIX- 
compliant. Guess which free Unix *is*? Darwin.

So, why are you promoting a not-fully-POSIX solution like Linux ahead  
of Darwin? ;)

Cheers,
Bowie
