I don't get this anyway.  The whole thing is so completely meaningless 
that it's a disservice to even bother trying.  Basically, it requires 
people to pro-actively do something in order to make it count.  I have
better things to do than to go register my 100+ NetBSD machines, so in
the end, he seems to be counting how many people are running whateverBSD
and who have nothing better to do with themselves.

Since FreeBSD is so much higher, maybe we can summarize that FreeBSD
users have nothing better to do with their time.
