Also just for the record... As a FreeBSD developer too, I was pleased to
see Luigi post to the FreeBSD (private) developers mailing list about
sound issues and Asterisk. It was that discussion that prompted me to
try Asterisk for the first time and to lurk here on the lists.

I was surprised to see someone call Luigi a troll. In the FreeBSD
world, nobody would ever make that call.
