For all I can tell, he is a Webmaster who is sick and bored of his daytime
job. So, aggravating some groups *could* make him a centre of attention, for
all the wrong reasons. I refuse to play along his script, so I no longer
reply to him. Others reply whenever he becomes a drama queen or states
out-of-the-FUD-book lies, which are damaging if left unfalsified in the
archives.
I'd like to push in a little addendum: I think a point worth making is that
Microsoft are learning from the Open Source development model. By embracing
it, they immediately acknowledge its value and endorse such tactics.
Allowing the end-user to submit wishlist items *and* keep track of progress
(as opposed to blind E-mails and contact forms) is something they will never
get right because there is no access to the source code. You want binaries?
No? That's the end of the relationship.
Best wishes,
Roy
