It's easy to take these as attacks on you personally John, but people are just
unhappy, and feel threatened by any actions involving MS, past and present. I
doubt anyone here were aiming it at you.
We have seen that you tend to carry the flag for Novell, which is a good thing
for someone who works there to do. You have stood up for Novell, and helped
out with some issues as well. But it's easy to get the idea from those
replies, wrongly or not, that you are taking things too personal.
(The lawer comment did sound sarcastic to me too.)
What is known is that the community IS unhappy and IS wondering how this is
all going to pan out. This is obvious by all the writings, if not by this
list.
I try to follow and support those I feel are worthy of my support. When they
do things that I feel is counter productive I stop supporting them. I'm sure
you do the same.
Novell may very well have cleared a path to great glory for our community, but
it sure does not feel like it. No doubt there will be more announcements, and
time will tell.
