This is classic community trolling behavior, Andrew. You post something inflammatory, questioning the core value of our project, without a clear argument about why it article relevant, and then step away to let a monster thread consume everything, as people try to work out what your point was, not trying to argue a point, or other wise participate.
Doing this, year after year, is bad for -cafe@ and bad for the community, and why I don't use -cafe@ for problem solving anymore. -- Don I'm glad my mail reader has a "mute" button.
