And it's not just Ted and Mike - look at Roy's resignation letter, look at the comments from people who tried to enter the OpenSolaris community and participate. Look at how many people agree with the points we're making - the Linux community is very large and very opinionated, but it is a very successful community by almost any measure b/c it's very open. There's a reason IBM, HP, Oracle, Intel, AMD (competitors) can come together and co-develop in a massive ecosystem - the underlying infrastructure for the Linux community is truly open.

Suffice to say that despite you both having one or two fair points there's plenty to argue with in your (and Ted's) comments, but attempting to do so with either of you is unlikely to help anyone much.
