Hey, thanks for being a FreeBSD dev. Every time I've been on a FreeBSD system my reaction has been "this is kinda weird, but really nice." (Especially, compiling from ports.) The fact that y'all are connected with academic communities who can solve these problems in more principled ways is really wonderful, as are the BSD/Solaris attitudes of "hey let's wall off things that don't need to interact" and "the kernel is the most important part, but it's not the only thing."
