Mmmm. I love this. The Project owns that page, it's a part of their software. You can argue that they have a certain responsibility to be fair with it, but is it not within their responsibility to make sure that they're not supporting a project that is actively destructive to their own? If you go beyond all the posturing, here, all fid is is an active encouragement for people to put their datastores on strike. I don't see how their intent could be anything else. Certainly their stated intent is technically ignorant, based more on voodoo than fact. And if they wanted to achieve their stated goals, some of which are quite good ideas, there are far more constructive, responsible ways that they could have gone about it. I don't see any reason for the developers to be friendly with, or even accommodating of, such a project. They've already offered more than could have been expected. If they don't want to provide that link -- fine. Hopefully some people will step up to provide some new indices. Personally, what I'd rather see would be a clear statement, coming from, say, Ian, rather than me, giving his POV of why fid is destructive, and a request made to YoYo to post that nearby. "Rebuttals of similar quality" is a good, responsible practice. Cheers --hobbs
