I was disappointed as well, due mostly to the attitude from some corners. Saying things like "you are dead wrong" and street-fight debating tactics like "are you in favor of communism?" were painful.
I'm no shrinking violet, and I appreciate a spirited discussion, but would such an attitude be welcomed at the Posse Roundup, if it were a guest? I think not. In the same way, it's not welcome on my car stereo. It _might_ (not sure on this) be interesting to have a podcast episode with a true expert (e.g. a patent attorney). Though perhaps that would be too far off-topic. Michael Easter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
