> I wonder how many people were under the impression they were working on some kind of community park, not the backyard to Mark's house.
I wonder when people will stop insulting and twisting the words of somebody who has donated a significant amount of his personal fortune in a attempt to make Linux software friendly and easy to use.
I know nobody is going to like this, but: You should try to be a bit more kind and understanding in the future because right now you sound a lot like a dick.

Sorry, donated is not the right term. I meant invested.

I think "donated" will turn out to be correct. I don't expect him to recover the investment, ever. I don't expect that he minds, either, so long as he stays sufficiently solvent to continue doing what he enjoys.

I have a huge amount of respect for Mark, but that doesn't translate into automatically giving him latitude where I disagree with him. You'll notice I didn't personally attack *him*, I voiced disagreement with what he said.
I find that works better than name-calling. YMMV.
