They do send a pretty strong signal (for lack of any other signal from Apache whatsoever) that *this* is the only type of person the project attracts, and *this* is how ridiculously misinformed they are.

They couldn't really do much better to bury OpenOffice if IBM were to hire another full time reputation assassin to do it.

And I used to respect that guy over WordPerfect, too ...

Why oh why did he do it - if a manager told me to destroy my own reputation like that ... fortunately, I've never been in a position where that's been at all likely, and I have a reputation of being rather forthright in my beliefs - trying to force me to go against them is unlikely to end well ...

Cheers,
