Sheesh, what is it with some people? Reminds me of the old qmail list days, where the too-genius-to-be-bothered crowd had unlimited time to rant about how dumb noobs were wasting their time with stupid questions, but never had enough time to actually help anyone. |

>had unlimited time to rant about how dumb noobs were wasting their time with stupid questions, but never had enough time to actually help anyone. Compensating. Think pencil. |

Apparently he missed my "Marketing FOSS" presentation at OLF. Being in England probably didn't help with that, either. But I specifically addressed the need for developers to consider how to address journalists - something few others have said much about. Why he thought me a troll when I specifically stated I am a journalist is beyond me. |

Quoting:Why he thought me a troll when I specifically stated I am a journalist is beyond me. Troll, Journalist.......... let me think, what's the difference ;) |

Well, you have a point. :-) |

> Why he thought me a troll when I specifically stated I am a journalist is beyond me. Enderle, O'Gara, Lyons.... Shall I go on? Yes, I know they're analysts, not journalists, but do you think most people know the difference? |

Parris, Schroder- come on folks, no need to tar with such a broad brush. |

tc, did you forget your smiley? |

No, gus3, I forgot my grumpy. I am MORTALLY offended at the implied connection between the likes of such sterling personages as me and the Rev, and certain bottom-feeding ickpersons as previously mentioned. And being mortally offended I will soon die, and then you'll be sorry. Or maybe I will throw a really fun party and not invite any of you. Ha! That'll learn ya. |

>bottom-feeding ickpersons You're so cute when you're mad!!! (Runs for cover, glad the Chickster ain't in Illinois) |

Flattery will get you nowhere, you're still not invited. ;) |

>bottom-feeding ickpersons Lawyers? |

> Lawyers? Hey! No need to get personal. |

> ...no need to tar with such a broad brush. Apologies, TC. That was not my intent. I was merely giving examples of why someone might not take the term "journalist" as an automatic good thing, not claiming that all journalists were in the same category. I know there are good ones out there, and appreciate them. |
