Either way, I stand by what I wrote above, regardless of which 'side' you are on. I am in favor of both commercial development and open source. As such, is seems there aren't sides (in the 1v1 sense) here, but rather an isosceles triangle, with commercial developers and conventional open source developers on the angles at each end of the 'short side', and Stallman and his cult followers way over on the opposite angle, yelling and stamping their feet. -- Randy Howard (2reply remove FOOBAR) .
