The point I was making was this: David mentioned that Mac OS X might be
based on FreeBSD, which it is, and that switching to it essentially is
switching to *nix.   I said, "Yes it is, and it's probably closer to a
true UNIX than Linux is".  Just a matter of fact remark, take it or
leave it.  Sorry to offend people's sensibilities, but this potential
flame war didn't find its spark in my original message.

Geese walk and quack like ducks, but they take much larger craps.
