@Steve, your comments are common trend I've seen with Open Source and they trend so easily. I've never seen Tech people getting so worked up and defensive with passion about something yet they don't share the same passion and drive to do more. It makes no sense to me. Obviously am not aware of why your defensive position, so can only assume that it has something to do with some market sector and my comments don't help. Of course, if you are totally neutral in that you follow/use Open Source purely as a very strong and staunch interest, I must say you are on the wrong side then to not have the same drive as some of us. How can you not see the pitfalls of what is going on in the Opensource/Freeware areas and how this affects e.g. local development. There is something in this Open Source sector that am not aware off and it seems to upset people. It cannot be a sense of strong beliefs or principles because this would have been enough to drive serious progress forward, then why all the defensive posturing? IMHO, you are the "smart" one. :-)

...then why don't you let those who can help do so? Do you have to
reply to every post that's got to do with open-source with this tired
old drivel? Must we all be as "smart" as you are?

Take a cue from most of the list. If you can't give a useful or
clueful response, just don't reply at all.

<sigh>
