"""
My recollection is that her predictions have been pretty accurate.

Most of her unsubstantiated allegations are not likely ever to be proven one way or the other.
And the rest... the substantiated ones... we all agree upon anyway.

I am only critical of the unsubstantiated ones.  And you should understand that I am not
exactly anti-PJ.  I just don't regard her as the Goddess of OSS that some people seem to, and
feel that the unsubstantiated allegations which she makes weaken her own position, as well as
my own OSS advocacy efforts.  And presumably those of others who advocate OSS software to
businesses.

As I said before, she contributes much value.  And I appreciate her efforts.  But that value,
in so far as it exists, is in the form of the factual information which she provides.  All the
conspiracy theories are worse than useless.  They are counterproductive.

If you want to turn this into a flamefest regarding whether some of her more over-the-top
Waldo fantasies are true or not... you'll have to do it without me.  But in that case... you
are the one with whom rests the burden of proof.
