I think you're being gratuitously cruel.

OTOH I _do_ think that some people around here
are uncertain enough about their own opinions that
they subconsciously believe that approbation == excellence
and thus waste effort trying to convince others
that plan9 is Really Good when they are
really trying to convince themselves.

I, OTOH suffer from no such problem:
I _know_ I'm right*.
If anything, I suffer from the opposite delusion:
I own a MacBook (unpopular) but not an iPod (popular)
and I am deeply distrustful of popularity
as a measure of anything other than popularity.

>  Sadly, Plan 9 is not "American Idol"

That's right: we're not all tone-deaf braindead egomaniacs.
