Negativity rarely helps progress.  It costs nothing but time to go to
these kinds of things and dismissing them out of hand is ridiculous.  We
all know the arguments to these kinds of objections and personally, I
think Ed is doing what any real linux advocate should.  Ed, how do you
find out about these kinds of things?  It would be nice to get it on my
radar..
