Polemic? Must of been the two beers I'd consumed before writing that!
:-x    'twas meant to be a humorous discussion.... (fail!)
Never thought I'd come out in defence of ADA... (the Paranoid
Programming Language!)

<WOOT> It's the rich diversity (and adversity) of views that make Open
Source what it is. I suspect that most of the time we labour under the
illusion that everyone has similar views - only to discover (as Linus
did) that is far from the case.
Without iconoclasts like Stallman (possibly a one-book-ian?), agnostics
(or atheist?) like Linus, and Christians like Tim Berners Lee we
wouldn't have Open Source.


(my apologies to any Baptists I may have offended - I only have a
problem with those that follow LandMarkism)
