Pieter de Jong said in a message to Tim Provencio:

Pieter, while you may view Tim's remarks as 'derogatory', I do not. In fact, 
I consider Tim's remarks to be a pretty obvious statement of fact, although I 
will admit that Linux is gaining respect amongst those organizations that can 
afford to pay the salary of a Unix Guru.
FreeBSD, and other BSD deriviatives, are in much more use amongst those with 
professional Unix backgrounds. If for no other reason that it's been around a 
lot longer.
In the meantime, could we please leave the moderating to the moderator? :)
Thankyou for your cooperation.
