I was talking in general terms, which may or may not apply to you. 
However many people coming from other os'es (in particular linux-based 
ones) do not understand that using openbsd seldom _need_ to include 
tweaking, optimizing and compiling.

Now that's a good reason for compiling from source, assuming you can 
handle it (and you obviously did)!

I actually cannot tell whether you are being sarcastic or honest, but 
anyway don't worry. Keep on exploring this new OS, and you'll probably 
in time be as addicted to it as many of us.
