Complaints?
I don't care.
Given a choice between OpenBSD being a small community of devoted, hard working members, vs. The Choice of Dweebs Everywhere, I think most OpenBSD users would prefer to be a small community. Not that we wish ill on anyone, but we would really prefer the dweebs go elsewhere. Anywhere else. Just leave us alone. - Nick Holland

I begin eternity,
And end space,
At the end of time,
And in every place,
Last in life,
Second to death,

Wind dare not tame,
Not in your mind,
Am in your dreams,
Vacant to Kings,
Present to Queens.
What am I?

In the dark night flies a many-hued phantom.
It soars and spreads its wings

And every night it is born anew
and every day it dies!
