Then you best black list yourself for this remark, Marc. This was the most 
unproffessional, uncalled for remark I have heard from this community. It 
represents every FUD comment made about Open Source development in the 
popular press and I am significantly dissapointed that you would say it.

Frankly, working WITH the community isn't easy. There is a huge if "it 
ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. Which is fine, except that there is 
a LOT broke and people don't pay attention to it and when people bring it 
up they get slammed.

You may also want to take into account that Alexy is obviously not a 
native English speaker. His dialect is probably coming across harsher than 
is meant.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
