Conducive to mass “BSD is dying” trolling, BSD vs. Linux flamewar and such.

  Not really. I am a daily user of FreeBSD, it is my main driver. However I am not on the mailing list. I hate mailing lists, they clutter my mailbox and I consider them an inefficient way of discussing. I prefer things like IRC that are more direct. And anonymous, which is also important these days. Signing up for a public mailing list like this is inviting a wave of spam. Sure I can make a spare google mail box or protonmail or whatever but that makes it even harder to access the mailing list. I would participate in this survey if I didn't have to sign up for the mailing list. So it is deterring at least one daily FreeBSD user as well :)

    >I would participate in this survey if I didn't have to sign up for the mailing list. You don't. In fact the instructions ask specifically that you don't reply to the list. To participate you just need to email that poster.

      Ah ok fair enough, I didn't see that. Just looked for a link to click. In that case I'll participate!
