Look, I really didn't intend to start a flame war, and you don't have to
convince me that Turbine 3.0 will be exceptional. I also realise that Jon
has written a lot of the Turbine code and has contributed a lot of his
time to the project and I appreciate every minute... without you guys I
wouldn't have been able to learn how to write better code.

Sorry, I must have worded this poorly... IMHO most of the Turbine
developers are very helpful and I appreciate that too... personally I
tend to figure things out for myself and that's why I haven't asked many
questions yet, but I know plenty of other developers who appreciate some
friendly guidance, and indeed if I start using Turbine for production
projects I am sure I will need some guidance too. I was just trying to
make Jon realise that his comments are sometimes detrimental to the
community, rather than beneficial, in the hope that he would stop
offending so many people.

Jon's attitude.
I really do apologise to everyone else on the list for my outbursts, and I
would like to stop this thread here and now. I hope I haven't caused too
much damage already.
