Neary: Curing "Shy Developer Syndrome"

people need to recognise that what people work on is not necessarily what they would like to work on. So just because a person worked on a product, and posts answers about it on a public list doesn't mean that they think that that product is the best thing to use.

even if they do think that it's the best product ever, that opinion can change over time (as they learn about limitations to that product, other products, or just plain learn more about the problems)
