Stuff democracy! No I don't mean that badly, but Winston Churchill was right when he said that democracy was an awful method of government, just less awful than the other methods available.

Open Source is a meritocracy. Who elected Linus? Who elected RMS? Please name me ANY well-known Open/Free Software person who was elected!

I just subscribe to the view that "those who want the job are those who are least qualified to do it", so the mere fact that someone is complaining "why have I been left off" is perfect justification for the fact they were left off.

Cheers,
Wol
