But.. but.. but... you are going to completely make sensational press
not a money maker. If John Dvorak, ESR, etc can't stand around yelling
about how something sucks because it didnt fit their little world
view.. how are they going to sell ads, books, or t-shirts?
I don't think ESR belongs in this thread. He actually does contribute to
open source projects (e.g. recently he has done a lot of work for Wesnoth).
