> Wether or not you're against or with the walled gardens, It doesn't even matter whether or not you're for or against walled gardens. Being against people who *interface* these walled gardens into open source / open protocols, *that's* a very strange attitude. That's what Nick tried to say, and his examples make that point very clear (imagine a world without them). Maybe now, I could live without transports, but I would certainly never have switched to Jabber if nobody wrote those.
But anyway, no use in wasting time discussing this post. We're discussing more interesting things in this thread ;-) cheers, Remko
