Ummmm no.

I use OpenBSD where it is appropriate.

I haven't had a need for a 14 CPU machine in about 6 to 8 years.  And
even if I did, OpenBSD would only use one CPU anyway.

Because I made one or two posts about its merits?

Get real.

I'm using a number of different OS's, selected pragmatically.  This runs
the gammut from Solaris to Linux to OpenBSD to IRIX and yes even two
Windows servers (soon to be one).

I would never suggest otherwise.

Sure, but there is nothing wrong with appreciating how easy it is to
lock one OS down (*OpenBSD*cough*) over others.
