FreeBSD or me? The very interesting thing is that whether or
not someone works on FreeBSD, has little to do with previous
experience. I suspect that assuming that FreeBSD is the only
expertise that someone has is only an issue of projecting
personal experience.

I am also, perhaps with even more justification.
Please don't associate choosing FreeBSD as a platform with
a lack of experience, because that alienates people who
have had to choose it, due to it being the only alternative
that really works for them.
