I find this patronizing to be highly annoying.  Shall I start going on and 
on about invisible bridging with pf to prove my BSD status ? Or how about 
the common misconceptions of the BSD ports tree ?

Additionally, when did being a *BSD fan automagically subject one to be an 
Apple fan as well ?

My IBM comment comes form the domain of the "real world" and of FreeBSD.  An 
OS that is optimized for x86 hardware, and where the PPC port is pretty 
weak.
