Your're very much entitled to your opinion. On the other hand, when you go out on lists like that, many people will consider you to be a typical FreeBSD user, which I think you are not. Both Jordan and I have repeatedly stated that we think you are harming FreeBSD more than you're helping it (though we both appreciate the good you do, as Jordan shows above).
We could be wrong. Question to everybody who's seen Brett's messages: should he continue, or should he stop? If the consensus is that he should continue, I'll shut up (that places no similar requirement on Jordan, of course :-)
I think he should stop the "fire and brimstone" type messages. They result in him being privately commented about as 'that manic' (along with the main GPL-advocate Klaus Schilling). This is no good for his (or FreeBSD's) general credibility.
