Roger:
Please excuse the social faux pas of contacting you directly, i.e. not
through the list, but I really don't want to wade into an (another, really)
acerbic public debate on this topic.

Your experience with the "core" membership of the firebird team is typical
of any discussions on this topic. While I respect Jason's intellect,
dedication and products, he has a propensity to turn the most innocuous
discussion into a jihad. I have resisted contributing for this very reason.
