I meant thanks for the Engine Yard mentions, and I was clear you were praising Ezra's work. We encourage and support his work in all ways. The mention I was thank you for was: "BTW, Railsmachine and Engine Yard are the only two who've contributed to helping Mongrel." As a founder of Engine Yard, I felt entirely OK about thanking you for that mention. Not entirely sure why the clarification was necessary, and definitely not sure why you did it in a way that seems to suggest I was stealing Ezra's glory, or misrepresenting what you said. > > P.S.

I have never once considered my customers slaves, nor do I consider someone who decided to pay someone else for their expertise a slave. I'd be surprised if my customers consider themselves slaves. In fact, many of them have expressed that running their own servers 24x7 previously was as close to slavery as they care to get. :-) -- -- Tom Mornini, CTO -- Engine Yard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
